On the 4th of October, Watford won 2:1 to Oxford united.

Watford are said to have played well, with 60% of the possession overall in the game, and 12 more shots than Oxford.

 

The first half of the game was quite eventful, with just 3 minutes in Max Alleyne scored an own goal against Watford.

This was followed by 2 Oxford United yellow cards at 5’ for Cameron Brannagan and at 30’ for Stanley Mills.

 

After Vivaldo Semedo was subbed off at 32’ for Luca Kjerrumgaard for Watford, Kevin Keben (also of Watford) was given a yellow card only 7 minutes later.

 

However, with a quick turn around at 45’, Jeremy Ngakia, a defender, scored a goal against Oxford, bringing the second half to a 1:1 current draw.

 

At 45+4, Jeremy Ngakia scored his second goal, putting Watford ahead with 2:1.

 

1 minute later, perhaps out of anger, Michał Helik of Oxford United was shown a yellow card.

 

To kick the second half off, 2 Watford yellow cards for Imrân Louza and Luca Kjerrumgaard at 53’ and 49’ were awarded.

 

The rest of the game was a mess of subs, which below is a list of them : 

  • Przemysław Płacheta subbed on for Stanley Mills at  57’ for Oxford

  • Will Vauks subbed on for Will Lankshear also at 57’ for Oxford

  • 3 subs for Watford at 70’ starting with Edo Kayembe for Roco Vata

  • The next was Jeremy Petris for Caleb Wiley

  • The third sub at 70’ for Watford was Moussa Sissoka for Imrân Louza

  • For Oxford at 73’ Jack Currie came on for Greg Leigh

  • The next 2 Oxford subs came on at 85’ was Mark Harris for Siriki Dembélé and Tom Bradshaw for Nik Prelec

  • The final sub of the game was for Watford at 87’ with Kwadwo Baah subbing in for Nestory Irankunda, perhaps hoping for a lucky end goal.

 

The game then concluded with a yellow card at 90+2’ for Jack Currie for Oxford, leaving Watford with a 2:1 win.

 

I asked Chris Summers (my father) for his opinion on the game, and he said “This game was quite well played, and both of Ngakia’s goals were incredible,”.
