Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Birmingham City FC and Cardiff City FC get this one started.
4' Jude Bellingham doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
9' The energy levels are beginning to show. Josep Clotet Ruiz might look to freshen things up shortly.
14' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
19' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Birmingham City FC and Cardiff City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
24' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
29' Birmingham City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cardiff City FC backline.
32' Another substitution for Cardiff City FC to replace Daniel Ward by Callum Paterson on 32 minute.
37' Cardiff City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
42' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Birmingham City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
47' Joe Ralls, a England midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
52' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
57' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Leandro Bacuna has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
61' Controversy at the stadium! Jake Clarke-Salter argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
63' What composure from Lee Tomlin! The England international strokes it home. 1-1.
64' It is a substitution in Birmingham City FC team. Kerim Mrabti is replaced by Jacques Maghoma on 64 minute.
68' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jazz Richards.
73' Cardiff City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marlon Pack.
79' 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 Curtis Nelson suffering a number of foals already.
80' A tactical swap from Birmingham City FC — Gary Gardner on, Jude Bellingham off on 80 minutes.
84' The referee calls foul for Gary Gardner. He receives a Yellow card.
84' Joe Ralls has so much to prove this time. He replaces Junior Hoilett on 84 minute.
89' The 32-year-old Kerim Mrabti has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
90' The Cardiff City FC bench stirs into life. Lee Tomlin is withdrawn and Robert Glatzel gets his opportunity.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Birmingham City FC 1-1 Cardiff City FC.
