- 0' KICK OFF: Birmingham City FC gets underway.
- 5' AFC Bournemouth is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' 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.
- 15' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Matija Sarkic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ivan Sanchez Aguayo made 383 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jonathan Leko suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' AFC Bournemouth started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Bournemouth needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Bournemouth that had 335 games and scored 441 goals.
- 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' AFC Bournemouth 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.
- 60' Time for substitution for AFC Bournemouth. Emiliano Hansen is replaced by Junior Stanislas.
- 65' Philip Billing has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 69' Time for substitution for AFC Bournemouth. Leif Davis is replaced by Ben Pearson.
- 70' Birmingham City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Chuks Aneke is hanging Lukas Jutkiewicz on the field on 70 minute.
- 74' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kristian Pedersen.
- 77' GOAL! Dominic Solanke scores on 77.
- 79' Another change for Birmingham City FC made on 79 minute. Jonathan Leko leaves to be changed by Scott Hogan.
- 84' AFC Bournemouth is showing some good football. However, AFC Bournemouth are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 87' It is a substitution in Birmingham City FC team. Tahith Chong is replaced by Ivan Sanchez Aguayo on 87 minute.
- 87' Goal! Jaidon Anthony scores his 23 goal in 335 matches.
- The final score is 0-2.
