The young Ukrainian strengthened the game of the Londoners in the second half, but neither Brentford nor Brighton were destined to lead the matter to a productive shot.

Already in the 15th minute, the guests had the opportunity to take the lead, but Yoan Wies’ goal was canceled due to offside.
The “Seagulls” tried to get a result in the first half, actively attacking the organized defense of Brentford, but the home team failed to realize at least one moment, and after the break, having spent enough physical conditions, the Brighton players could not maintain a similar pace.
Against this backdrop, the second half was mostly evenly matched both in terms of possession and the number of chances created. As a result, the final whistle recorded a zero draw at the Amex Stadium.
As for Yehor Yarmolyuk, the young Ukrainian entered the field in the 72nd minute instead of Brentford captain Christian Nergor, and Yehor immediately made himself known with a yellow card earned after a fight with Juan Pedro.
Among other events following the results of this confrontation, it should be noted the injury of the main goalkeeper of Brentford Mark Flecken (forced substitution in the first half), the debut in the Premier League of the defender “Bees” Chi Soo Kim and the long-awaited return of the leader of Brighton Solly March after injury.
