Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at The Hawthorns. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Ipswich Town 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.

- 37' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
