Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds The Hawthorns will turn into a battlefield for West Bromwich Albion FC and Reading FC.
  • 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 Jayson Molumby suffering a number of foals already.

  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 50' West Bromwich Albion FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Reading FC backline.
  • 55' Scott Dann, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
