Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at The Hawthorns!
5' West Bromwich Albion FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
10' Blackburn Rovers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
20' Aynsley Pears is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Blackburn Rovers FC tonight.
25' Todd Cantwell is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for West Bromwich Albion FC so far.
30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Torbjorn Heggem, as he is very good at scoring at The Hawthorns with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
35' It looks like no one’s ball. West Bromwich Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
40' 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 Makhtar Gueye suffering a number of foals already.
42' Dion Sanderson is replacing Danny Batth for the Blackburn Rovers FC side.
47' Makhtar Gueye has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 47 minutes.
52' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
56' It is a substitution in West Bromwich Albion FC team. Mikey Johnston is replaced by William Lankshear on 56 minute.
61' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His West Bromwich Albion FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
63' The Senegal Makhtar Gueye breaks the deadlock on 63 minutes. 0-2!
64' Amario Cozier-Duberry gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces Ryan Hedges and will look to change the dynamic.
69' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
70' West Bromwich Albion FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jed Wallace is hanging Isaac Price on the field on 70 minute.
75' Adam Armstrong needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 17 Yellow cards this season.
