Events

Match Events

5' With 1 assists to his name this season, Jason Knight is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Bristol City FC.
10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Birmingham City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bristol City FC that had 402 games and scored 450 goals.
20' Romelle Donovan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Bristol City FC winning 0% of all matches.
30' John Ruddy is a natural goalkeeper and has been asked to do a very specific job for Birmingham City FC tonight.
35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Liam Manning might look to freshen things up shortly.
46' Tommy Conway is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nahki Wells at the 46 minute mark.
51' Emmanuel Longelo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
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.
57' Andreas Weimann is ready to make an impact after coming on for Anis Mehmeti at the 57 minute mark.
62' It looks like no one’s ball. Bristol City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
63' Birmingham City FC make a change. Jay Stansfield trudges off to be replaced by Keshi Anderson on 63 minutes.
64' Oliver Burke is ready to make an impact after coming on for Siriki Dembele at the 64 minute mark.
69' Bristol City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
74' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Birmingham City FC and Bristol City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
75' A tactical swap from Bristol City FC — Sam Bell on, Mark Sykes off on 75 minutes.
80' Bristol City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
85' Both keepers have barely been tested. Birmingham City FC and Bristol City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
