- 0' In just a few seconds St Andrew's Ground will turn into a battlefield for Birmingham City FC and Stevenage FC.
- 5' Birmingham City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Birmingham City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Stevenage FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 27' What a strike from Kieran Dowell! The score is 1-0.
- 32' Daniel Phillips has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 37' 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.
- 42' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Charlie Goode has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' Another substitution for Birmingham City FC to replace Emil Hansson by Alfie May on 46 minute.

- 81' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Birmingham City FC players.
