Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Birmingham City FC and Queens Park Rangers FC.
4' Goal! Auston Trusty scores his 13 goal in 289 matches.
7' Birmingham City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
12' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Birmingham City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
21' The Queens Park Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Jake Clarke-Salter is withdrawn and Rob Dickie gets his opportunity.
26' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dion Sanderson, as he is very good at scoring at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
27' Sinclair Armstrong has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tyler Roberts on 27 minute.
28' Another change for Queens Park Rangers FC made on 28 minute. Tyler Roberts leaves to be changed by Sinclair Armstrong.
29' What a moment for Emmanuel Longelo! That strike on 29 puts his side firmly in control.
34' A quiet spell here at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. Queens Park Rangers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
35' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Auston Trusty on 35 minutes.
40' With 0 assists to his name this season, Krystian Bielik is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Queens Park Rangers FC.
45' Troy Deeney has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
46' Queens Park Rangers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luke Amos is hanging Stefan Johansen on the field on 46 minute.

60' Leon Balogun catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 60.
65' The travelling Queens Park Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
70' 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 Sinclair Armstrong suffering a number of foals already.
71' It’s a booking for Queens Park Rangers FC player. Tim Iroegbunam gets a Yellow card.
76' Birmingham City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
