Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds St Andrew's Ground will turn into a battlefield for Birmingham City FC and Crawley Town FC.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' Crawley Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Alfie May has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Crawley Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Seung-Ho Paik made 10 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Birmingham City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' Christoph Klarer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 50' Dion Conroy has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 55' The travelling Crawley Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' Crawley Town 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.
  • 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
  • 70' 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 Jay Stansfield suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' Birmingham City FC is showing some good football. However, Birmingham City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 80' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Crawley Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 85' 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.
  • 90' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
