Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Luton Town FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from George Hall, as he is very good at scoring at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 19' It’s a booking for Luton Town FC player. Alfie Doughty gets a Yellow card.
- 24' Luton Town FC is showing some good football. However, Luton Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 29' Luton Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Birmingham City FC that had 383 games and scored 417 goals.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Luton Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' Juninho Bacuna has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 47' What a strike from Carlton Morris! The score is 0-1.
- 52' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 55' It is a substitution in Luton Town FC team. Reece Burke is replaced by Allan Campbell on 55 minute.
- 60' 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 Harlee Dean suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' The supporters are chanting for Marc Roberts. He replaces Gary Gardner on 64 minute.
- 67' It’s a booking for Birmingham City FC player. Marc Roberts gets a Yellow card.
- 72' 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.
- 73' Luton Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cauley Woodrow is hanging Carlton Morris on the field on 73 minute.
- 78' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Scott Hogan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 83' It’s high time Rob Edwards made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 86' Jordan Graham is replacing Emmanuel Longelo for the Birmingham City FC side.
- 90' Time for substitution for Birmingham City FC. Harlee Dean is replaced by Jordan James.
- Another three points for Luton Town FC.
