- 0' And we are off! Birmingham City FC vs Fulham FC — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Josh Onomah has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Ivan Cavaleiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Josep Clotet Ruiz might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' A quiet spell here at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. Birmingham City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Fulham FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Cyrus Christie has so much to prove this time. He replaces Maxime Le Marchand on 35 minute.
- 40' Marc Roberts has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 387 appearances.
- 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Aleksandar Mitrovic.
- 50' 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 Stefan Johansen suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' The deadlock is broken! Aleksandar Mitrovic gets on the scoresheet on 52 minutes.

- 76' Over 76 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 78' A moment of madness from Cyrus Christie on 78 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Fulham FC will be frustrated.
- 79' Another substitution for Birmingham City FC to replace Fran Villalba by Jefferson Montero on 79 minute.
- 81' It is a substitution in Fulham FC team. Bobby Reid is replaced by Aboubakar Kamara on 81 minute.
- 85' Jake Clarke-Salter has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 85.
