Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Birmingham City FC and Huddersfield Town AFC get this one started.
  • 5' GOAL! Scott Hogan scores on 5.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Josh Koroma, a Sierra Leone , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' Sorba Thomas has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' Sorba Thomas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' The 34-year-old Lee Nicholls has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 32' Huddersfield Town AFC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 32.
  • 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Przemyslaw Placheta made 383 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' 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.
  • 45' GOAL! Przemyslaw Placheta scores on 45.
  • 50' Birmingham City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 66' Over 66 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 71' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 75' Troy Deeney makes way for Jordan Graham at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Birmingham City FC.
  • 76' A tactical swap from Huddersfield Town AFC — William Boyle on, Rarmani Edmonds-Green off on 76 minutes.
  • 81' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 82' Lukas Jutkiewicz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Scott Hogan at the 82 minute mark.
  • 87' It looks surprising Huddersfield Town AFC does not make any changes. John Ruddy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Birmingham City FC to claim maximum points.
