Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Birmingham City FC and Middlesbrough FC get this one started.
  • 5' Middlesbrough FC have won 467 goals from 383 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Che Adams is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Middlesbrough FC tonight.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Jonathan Howson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Garry Monk will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 29' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Maikel Kieftenbeld.
  • 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Birmingham City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 37' Assisted by Dael Fry with the perfectly-timed delivery and Lewis Wing makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 42' The energy levels are beginning to show. Tony Pulis might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 46' Craig Gardner is replacing Gary Gardner for the Birmingham City FC side.
  • 51' Both keepers have barely been tested. Birmingham City FC and Middlesbrough FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 55' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Che Adams.
  • 56' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lewis Wing on 56.
  • 57' Lewis Wing catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 57.
  • 62' Middlesbrough 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.
  • 67' Lukas Jutkiewicz has been relatively quiet despite scoring 57 goals in his last 383 appearances.
  • 69' Middlesbrough FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Stewart Downing is hanging Muhamed Besic on the field on 69 minute.
  • 70' Britt Assombalonga is replacing Jordan Hugill for the Middlesbrough FC side.
  • 75' 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 Jota Peleteiro suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' Brilliant from the ! Che Adams makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 79.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Isaac Vassell. He replaces Maikel Kieftenbeld on 80 minute.
  • 82' A stunning finish from Britt Assombalonga — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 87' Paddy McNair has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lewis Wing on 87 minute.
  • It finishes all square. Birmingham City FC and Middlesbrough FC share the spoils 1-2.
