Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Northampton Town FC gets underway.
  • 5' Birmingham City 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.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Northampton Town FC that had 191 games and scored 158 goals.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Northampton Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' The travelling Northampton Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Jay Stansfield has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 30' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Christoph Klarer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' Birmingham City FC is showing some good football. However, Birmingham City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 41' Northampton Town FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 41.
  • 46' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 50' TJ Eyoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tyler Magloire on 50 minute.
  • 55' The supporters are chanting for William Hondermarck. He replaces Jack Baldwin on 55 minute.

  • 62' The supporters are chanting for Luke Harris. He replaces Alfie May on 62 minute.
  • 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. TJ Eyoma made 318 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' The Northampton Town FC manager makes a substitution. Sam Hoskins departs to be replaced by Samy Chouchane.

  • 74' Alfons Sampsted has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ethan Laird on 74 minute.
  • 79' 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 Tyler Magloire suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' It’s high time Chris Davies made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 88' Birmingham City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lyndon Dykes is hanging Krystian Bielik on the field on 88 minute.
