Events

Match Events

0' Birmingham City FC have kicked off against Coventry City FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' 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.
10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Birmingham City FC and Coventry City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
18' Birmingham City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jeremie Bela on 18.
20' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Maxime Colin.
25' 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 Rekeem Harper suffering a number of foals already.
29' Gustavo Hamer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 29 minutes.
34' Coventry City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
39' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
42' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ivan Sunjic.
44' San Jose was booked on 44.
46' Gary Gardner has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Toral on 46 minute.
51' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mark Robins might look to freshen things up shortly.
56' Coventry City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
61' Birmingham City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
66' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
67' It is a substitution in Coventry City FC team. Ben Sheaf is replaced by Jordan Shipley on 67 minute.
71' The crowd applauds Ivan Sanchez Aguayo as he leaves the pitch. Jonathan Leko steps in for Birmingham City FC.
72' It’s a booking for Coventry City FC player. Gustavo Hamer gets a Yellow card.
77' Rekeem Harper has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ivan Sunjic on 77 minute.
82' Over 82 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
85' Fresh legs for Birmingham City FC! Lukas Jutkiewicz comes on to replace Scott Hogan.
90' It looks surprising Coventry City FC does not make any changes. Ben Wilson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
