Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 2' - GOAL! Troy Deeney scores on 2.
  • 7' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 7 minutes.
  • 12' - 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 Krystian Bielik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' - 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.
  • 22' - Goal! Troy Deeney scores his 42 goal in 299 matches.
  • 23' - Goal! Troy Deeney scores his 42 goal in 299 matches.
  • 28' - Hannibal Mejbri needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 17 Yellow cards this season.
  • 33' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 36' - GOAL! Tahith Chong scores on 36.
  • 37' - What a strike from Tahith Chong! The score is 5-0.
  • 42' - It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Auston Trusty. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 49' - The travelling Reading FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 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' - It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. John Ruddy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 68' - Another change for Birmingham City FC made on 68 minute. Juninho Bacuna leaves to be changed by Jordan James.
  • 73' - Reading FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 76' - The Birmingham City FC manager makes a substitution. Hannibal Mejbri departs to be replaced by Jobe Bellingham.
  • 79' - The supporters are chanting for Andy Carroll. He replaces Yakou Meite on 79 minute.
  • 83' - What a strike from Lucas Joao! The score is 5-1.
  • 88' - 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.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Jordan Graham. He replaces Emmanuel Longelo on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Birmingham City FC beats Reading FC
