Watford suffers agonizing defeat against Oxford United at The Kassam Stadium
Oxford, Oxfordshire – In a vibrant match played at The Kassam Stadium, Oxford United defeated Watford 1-0 in a game corresponding to matchday 38 of the English Championship. The match, played on March 15th, 2025, was marked by tension and yellow cards. Watford dominated possession (62%) and created more chances (16 shots, 4 on target), but their lack of effectiveness and the expulsion of J. Abankwah in the 80th minute cost them dearly. The young defender received two yellow cards in quick succession, leaving his team with ten men. Oxford, with less possession (38%), proved effective in key moments. The winning goal arrived in the 82nd minute, thanks to a goal from S. Dembele, assisted by M. Harris. Despite multiple yellow cards for both teams (Watford with 3 and Oxford with 1), Abankwah’s expulsion was the turning point of the match. A game that Watford will regret due to their lack of effectiveness and refereeing decisions.
