- 10' Nottingham Forest FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 14' It’s gonna be a card for Malo Gusto.
- 15' GOAL! Igor Jesus scores on 15.
- 20' 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 James McAtee suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Chelsea FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' Chelsea FC is showing some good football. However, Chelsea FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nottingham Forest FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' It looks surprising Chelsea FC does not make any changes. Luca Netz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 52' GOAL! Taiwo Awoniyi scores on 52.
- 57' It’s high time Calum McFarlane made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 62' 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.
- 67' The travelling Nottingham Forest FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 72' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joao Pedro made 382 appearances and scored 54 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 73' Goal! Joao Pedro scores his 54 goal in 382 matches.
- 78' That looks like a foul for a card for Moises Caicedo.
- 83' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 88' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
