Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Vicarage Road. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Watford FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' The travelling Leeds United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Goal! Daniel James scores his 48 goal in 383 matches.

  • 28' GOAL! Daniel James scores on 28. Assisted by Joel Piroe
  • 33' 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.
  • 35' What a strike from Manor Solomon! The score is 0-3.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Rodon made 383 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 50' It looks surprising Watford FC does not make any changes. Imran Louza has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 55' Watford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 59' Watford FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rocco Vata is hanging Mamadou Doumbia on the field on 59 minute.

  • 81' Another change for Leeds United FC made on 81 minute. Joel Piroe leaves to be changed by Mateo Fernandez.
  • 86' 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 Edo Kayembe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' The whistle greets Ethan Ampadu as he departs to be replaced by Pascal Struijk.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Leeds United FC players.
