Match Events

- 8' Scott Hogan puts Birmingham City FC on the lead.
- 13' It looks surprising Plymouth Argyle FC does not make any changes. Julio Pleguezuelo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 23' Birmingham City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 23.

- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
