Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Swansea City AFC gets underway.
5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
10' Swansea City AFC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined West Bromwich Albion FC backline.
13' Goal! Okay Yokuslu scores his 7 goal in 324 matches.
18' Jed Wallace needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
23' Both keepers have barely been tested. Swansea City AFC and West Bromwich Albion FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
26' What an equalizer from Luke Cundle!
31' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Liam Cullen suffering a number of foals already.
36' Semi Ajayi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for West Bromwich Albion FC so far.
41' A quiet spell here at Swansea.com Stadium. Swansea City AFC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
46' Swansea City AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
51' West Bromwich Albion FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
54' Goal! Semi Ajayi scores his 25 goal in 357 matches.
59' Over 59 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
61' Swansea City AFC make a change. Liam Cullen trudges off to be replaced by Oliver Cooper on 61 minutes.
63' Fresh legs for West Bromwich Albion FC! Taylor Gardner-Hickman comes on to replace Okay Yokuslu.
66' A stunning finish from Jules Ntcham — that came from absolutely nowhere!
71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
73' A change in the Swansea City AFC ranks — Jamie Paterson exits the field as Kyle Naughton enters on 73.
76' That is a Yellow card for West Bromwich Albion FC. Brandon Thomas-Asante will be fuming at that decision.
79' West Bromwich Albion FC make a change. Erik Pieters trudges off to be replaced by Kyle Bartley on 79 minutes.
81' Poor challenge from Oliver Cooper. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
