Brentford earns a rare away point as Brighton’s winless streak extends to six matches in a frustrating draw at the Amex Stadium
Brighton: It was a tough night for Brighton fans as they watched their team struggle to break the deadlock against Brentford. The game ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw, extending Brighton’s winless run to six matches.
Brighton had their chances, especially early on when Julio Enciso hit the post just four minutes in. The Seagulls controlled much of the game but couldn’t find the back of the net.
Brentford’s goalkeeper, Mark Flekken, made some great saves but had to leave the match due to injury. His replacement, Hakon Valdimarsson, didn’t face many threats, which was a relief for the Bees.
Brentford, still searching for their first away win this season, had a goal disallowed for offside. They showed some improvement in the second half but didn’t really threaten Brighton’s defense.
Brighton now sits in 10th place, and fans are getting anxious as the team has dropped from second to mid-table. The pressure is on head coach Fabian Hurzeler as the team struggles to find form.
Seagulls’ chief executive Paul Barber urged fans to stay positive, especially after receiving some negative feedback following a recent loss to Crystal Palace.
Enciso almost gave Brighton the lead early on, but it just wasn’t their night. Brentford came into the match with the worst away record, and it showed as they struggled to create chances.
Despite some bright moments, including a few good saves from Flekken, the match ended without any goals. Brighton fans left the stadium disappointed, hoping for better results in the future.
