Match Events
- 0' Welcome to St Andrew's Ground that hosts another battle between Birmingham City FC and Peterborough United FC.
- 4' What a strike from Ricky Jade-Jones! The score is 0-1.
- 9' 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 James Dornelly suffering a number of foals already.
- 14' Jed Steer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 16' Goal! Emmanuel Fernandez scores his 5 goal in 383 matches.
- 21' 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.
- 24' What a strike from Willum Thor Willumsson! The score is 1-2.
- 29' Emmanuel Fernandez is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
- 33' It’s a booking for Peterborough United FC player. Jack Sparkes gets a card.
- 35' Birmingham City FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 40' 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.
- 45' 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.
- 46' It is a substitution in Birmingham City FC team. Lyndon Dykes is replaced by Keshi Anderson on 46 minute.
- 49' What a strike from Oscar Wallin! The score is 1-3.
- 50' Time for substitution for Peterborough United FC. Jadel Katongo is replaced by James Dornelly.
- 55' Peterborough United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
- 60' Peterborough United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
- 66' What a strike from Krystian Bielik! The score is 2-3.
- 71' Taylor Gardner-Hickman needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 24 Yellow cards this season.
- 73' The referee calls foul for Jay Stansfield. He receives a card.
- 74' Peterborough United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sam Curtis is hanging Jack Sparkes on the field on 74 minute.

- 79' Another change for Birmingham City FC made on 79 minute. Taylor Gardner-Hickman leaves to be changed by Alfons Sampsted.
- 82' Hector Matthew Kyprianou was booked on 82.
- 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Peterborough United FC that had 383 games and scored 596 goals.
- 88' The supporters are chanting for Marc Leonard. He replaces Seung-Ho Paik on 88 minute.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marc Leonard on 90.
