Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC host Aston Villa FC — let the battle begin!
5' Max Kilman has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
6' A moment of madness from Boubacar Kamara on 6 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Aston Villa FC will be frustrated.
11' Toti Gomes has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 343 appearances.
16' It looks like no one’s ball. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
21' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
26' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
28' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Craig Dawson.
29' John McGinn has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 29.
34' Youri Tielemans has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 41 cards already picked up this season.
39' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ezri Konsa, as he is very good at scoring at Molineux Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
44' 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 Lucas Digne suffering a number of foals already.
46' A change in the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC ranks — Rayan Ait Nouri exits the field as Matt Doherty enters on 46.
51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Aston Villa FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
53' Hwang Heechan adds to his 0 season tally! Wolverhampton Wanderers FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
55' Pau Torres adds to his 0 season tally! Aston Villa FC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
60' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
62' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Mario Lemina.
62' Nicolo Zaniolo gets the nod from Aston Villa FC. He replaces Moussa Diaby and will look to change the dynamic.
67' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 67.
69' The Wolverhampton Wanderers FC bench stirs into life. Joao Gomes is withdrawn and Boubacar Traore gets his opportunity.
74' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
76' Sasa Kalajdzic is replacing Matheus Cunha for the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC side.
81' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is showing some good football. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
82' The Aston Villa FC bench stirs into life. Matty Cash is withdrawn and Leon Bailey gets his opportunity.
86' The supporters are chanting for Fabio Silva. He replaces Hwang Heechan on 86 minute.
90' The referee has no hesitation. Mario Lemina is booked for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC — Red card on 90.
Game over. The scoreline of 1-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
