Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Birmingham City FC host Crawley Town FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Crawley Town FC come into this ranked 22 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' It’s high time Chris Davies made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 20' Birmingham City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' Crawley Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Seung-Ho Paik has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' Tomoki Iwata has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crawley Town FC that had 58 games and scored 85 goals.
  • 45' Birmingham City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Crawley Town FC backline.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' 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 Jeremy Kelly suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Christoph Klarer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 20 cards already picked up this season.
  • 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
  • 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 75' Ben Davies is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Crawley Town FC tonight.
  • 80' England international Ryan Allsop has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 85' Toby Steward has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 90' Rushian Hepburn-Murphy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 57 appearances.
  • It finishes all square. Birmingham City FC and Crawley Town FC share the spoils 0-0.
