Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Vitality Stadium!
5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
10' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
15' Birmingham City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
20' AFC Bournemouth are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
25' Sam Cosgrove has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
27' Scott Hogan makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Birmingham City FC are in front.
32' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
36' GOAL! Arnaut Danjuma scores on 36.
41' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
46' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Karanka will be considering his options from the bench.
51' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
56' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
61' GOAL! Jack Wilshere fires home to make it 2-1!
66' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Bournemouth and Birmingham City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
67' A change in the Birmingham City FC ranks — Jeremie Bela exits the field as Jonathan Leko enters on 67.
68' GOAL! Scott Hogan fires home to make it 2-2!
73' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Ivan Sunjic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
77' GOAL! Philip Billing fires home to make it 3-2!
79' Philip Billing has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 79.
83' The referee calls foul for George Friend. He receives a Yellow card.
85' It is a substitution in Birmingham City FC team. Scott Hogan is replaced by Lukas Jutkiewicz on 85 minute.
90' Birmingham City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
90' Another substitution for Birmingham City FC to replace Ivan Sanchez Aguayo by Sam Cosgrove on 90 minute.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AFC Bournemouth players.
