A very exciting player to watch.

5:49pm: 4 minutes added time. 5:54pm: Half-time: What a half for Brighton. Unfortunate that Brazil is injured and we’ll brung you updates as soon as we receive them. Great finish from Green and Le Garrec. What an exciting half. 6:10pm: Brighton get us underway for the second half.

6:14pm: Good attacking play from Birmingham who now have a corner. 6:17pm: Brighton have been good on the counter. 6:22pm: Promising move from Birmingham. Visalli played a through pass to Gregory who now is on the ground looking to be suffering from cramps She’s in tears and looks to be a lot of pain but it looks to be something worse than cramp. 6:26pm: SUBSTITUTION: Gregory off for Simkins. 6:31pm: Bit of confusion on whether the referee was going to book Bowman after a handball.

6:46pm: Attendance is 4,130 in the Amex. 6:47pm: Safely caught by Walsh. 6:49pm: Visalli is quite an eye catching player. She seems to be at the centre of every Birmingham attack. 6:50pm: Fern Whelan is currently down getting treatment.

6:51pm: She’s now up and stretching it out.

6:53pm: Calm play from Brighton. Just seem to be playing out time. 6:55pm: Last minute of regular time.

My player of the match for Brighton would be Le Garrec. She’s so exciting to watch and her goal was stunning. My player of the match for Birmingham would be Visalli. She was one of their main threats and as I‘ve said previously she seemed to be at the centre of each attack.
