0' Welcome to St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium that hosts another battle between Birmingham City FC and Millwall FC.
5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
10' 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 Benik Afobe suffering a number of foals already.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Millwall FC that had 382 games and scored 401 goals.
20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
25' Poor challenge from George Saville. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
30' Birmingham City FC have won 417 goals from 383 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

68' Oliver Burke does the damage! The net is bulging and Millwall FC surge ahead!
72' The referee shows Millwall FC player a Yellow card on 72.
