1': We're off!
2': GREAT SAVE! The Brighton backline caught napping, forcing Verbruggen to reach out his fingertips to deflect Christie's shot away from the far side.
8': Oh, Kepa with a bad punch! He gives the ball right to Rutter but his header glances wide.
9': Big chance for Mitoma!! Kepa quick off his line to cut down the angle and Mitoma can't get his shot on target.
10': PENALTY FOR BRIGHTON!! João Pedro wiped out by Kepa! Terrible error!
12': GOAL BRIGHTON!! João Pedro buries it!
20': Minteh fires low, no power and no placement, easiest of saves for Kepa.
25': Bournemouth substitution: Alex Scott on for Ryan Christie, adding to Bournemouth's injury woes
34': SAVE! Semenyo runs at goal but Verbruggen cuts out the shot
37': MITOMA HITS THE POST! Fantastic volley denied by the woodwork!

61': Kepa catches a shot right at him (and then gives the ball right back with a bad kick but he gets away with it)
62': GOAL BOURNEMOUTH! Justin Kluivert gets the ball in tons of space on the left wing, cuts across the edge of the box and then boots in an unstoppable rocket of a shot!
69': Great save! It looks for sure Ouattara has an open goal to aim at but Verbruggen scrambles to smother the chance!
71': Ouattara with a wicked volley from out of nowhere but it goes over the bar.
72': Brighton triple sub: Yasin Ayari, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck on for João Pedro, Pervis Estupiñán and Diego Gómez

79': Kluivert's glancing header goes wide.
83': Semenyo with a side-footed shot that doesn't really test Verbrugen.
