Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Birmingham City FC is hosting Millwall FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Kevin Nisbet has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 17 cards already picked up this season.
  • 6' What a moment for Kevin Nisbet! That strike on 6 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 11' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 16' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Birmingham City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 21' Lee Buchanan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 400 appearances.
  • 26' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Birmingham City FC and Millwall FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 31' Wes Harding needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 32' Another change for Millwall FC made on 32 minute. Shaun Hutchinson leaves to be changed by Wes Harding.
  • 37' Birmingham City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 42' Birmingham City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Max Bird scoring 1 goals.
  • 46' Controversy at the stadium! Juninho Bacuna argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 51' Ryan Longman has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

  • 57' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Wes Harding.
  • 59' Controversy at the stadium! Brooke Norton-Cuffy argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 64' 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 Matija Sarkic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' Birmingham City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 72' Koji Miyoshi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jay Stansfield on 72 minute.

  • 81' 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.
  • 82' Juninho Bacuna makes way for Jordan James at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Birmingham City FC.
  • 87' England international Brooke Norton-Cuffy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 90' The whistle greets Keshi Anderson as he departs to be replaced by Emmanuel Longelo.
