Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Birmingham City FC and Reading FC.
  • 2' - GOAL! Troy Deeney scores on 2.
  • 7' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 12' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 17' - 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.
  • 22' - Goal! Troy Deeney scores his 42 goal in 299 matches.
  • 23' - Troy Deeney makes a hat-trick on 23.
  • 28' - 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.
  • 33' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 36' - What a strike from Tahith Chong! The score is 4-0.
  • 37' - Tahith Chong with the second goal in the match!
  • 42' - It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Dion Sanderson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' - Birmingham City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 49' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shane Long made 280 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 54' - 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 Nesta Guinness-Walker suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' - Lucas Joao is replacing Shane Long for the Reading FC side.
  • 60' - The whistle greets Amadou Salif Mbengue as he departs to be replaced by Junior Hoilett.
  • 65' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Reading FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' - Birmingham City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan James is hanging Juninho Bacuna on the field on 68 minute.
  • 73' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 76' - Time for substitution for Birmingham City FC. Hannibal Mejbri is replaced by Jobe Bellingham.
  • 79' - Andy Carroll has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yakou Meite on 79 minute.
  • 83' - Goal! Lucas Joao scores his 62 goal in 320 matches.
  • 88' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Reading FC that had 235 games and scored 289 goals.
  • 90' - Birmingham City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan Graham is hanging Emmanuel Longelo on the field on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Birmingham City FC.
