Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Hull City AFC get us underway at Vicarage Road.
  • 5' 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 Tom Dele-Bashiru suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Watford FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Hull City AFC backline.
  • 15' It looks surprising Hull City AFC does not make any changes. Joe Gelhardt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Watford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' Watford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' Hull City AFC come into this ranked 19 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Moussa Sissoko.
  • 44' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tom Cleverley will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 49' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ivor Pandur is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Watford FC.
  • 54' Kyle Joseph is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Watford FC tonight.
  • 55' Moussa Sissoko is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
  • 60' Watford FC currently sit 10 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 61' Zavier Massiah-Edwards has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mamadou Doumbia on 61 minute.
  • 63' The Hull City AFC manager makes a substitution. Joe Gelhardt departs to be replaced by Abu Kamara.
  • 67' Edo Kayembe was booked on 67.
  • 68' It is a substitution in Watford FC team. Tom Dele-Bashiru is replaced by Tom Ince on 68 minute.
  • 71' Kasey Palmer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matt Crooks on 71 minute.
  • 76' The 26-year-old Jeremy Ngakia has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 80' Francisco Sierralta gets the nod from Watford FC. He replaces Rocco Vata and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 85' Watford FC is showing some good football. However, Watford FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 86' Another substitution for Hull City AFC to replace Lewie Coyle by Nordin Amrabat on 86 minute.
  • 90' Tom Ince has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
