Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Birmingham City FC host Bristol City FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' It looks surprising Bristol City FC does not make any changes. Daniel Bentley has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' Adrian Mariappa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' Kasey Palmer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 35 minutes.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' A moment of madness from Ivan Sanchez Aguayo on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Birmingham City FC will be frustrated.
- 48' Ivan Sunjic catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 48.
- 49' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nahki Wells.
- 54' Fresh legs for Birmingham City FC! Jonathan Leko comes on to replace Ivan Sanchez Aguayo.
- 59' 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 Famara Diedhiou suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' What a strike from Antoine Semenyo! The score is 0-2.
- 66' Henri Lansbury catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 66.
- 68' Scott Hogan makes way for Lukas Jutkiewicz at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from Birmingham City FC.

- 76' Callum O'Dowda makes no mistake. The score reads 0-3 and Bristol City FC are in front.
- 76' It is a substitution in Bristol City FC team. Nahki Wells is replaced by Callum O'Dowda on 76 minute.
- 81' The crowd applauds Henri Lansbury as he leaves the pitch. Liam Walsh steps in for Bristol City FC.
- 86' The home supporters are growing impatient. Birmingham City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 88' Bristol City FC ring the changes. Famara Diedhiou has done his job and it is now time for Marley Watkins to step up.
- 90' Poor challenge from Marc Roberts. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Birmingham City FC.
