At the crack of dawn on Wednesday, an intriguing Premier League clash took place between Westham and Bradenton. Despite the absence of both teams' attacking core, it ended in a rare 0-0 draw. Such a draw is rare, and it was the first time Westham had suffered such a draw at home since September 2018 against Chelsea, and it was the fifth time this season that the Premier League has seen a 0-0 scoreline.
Westham's flanker Gudas left the team due to his participation in the African Cup tournament, while Brighton's Japanese flanker Kaoru Mitaka was absent due to injury. Away from home, Brighton showed a stronger desire to attack, with 22 attempts on goal in the match. However, no matter whether it was a shot from Pascoe Goss, Jaeger Moda or Lallana, none of them were able to break through the defense of Westham's goalkeeper, Aluna, and the two teams finally shook hands with a score of 0-0. Westham remain in 6th place after the loss, while Brighton remain in 7th place.
