0' Welcome to St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium that hosts another battle between Birmingham City FC and Swansea City AFC.
5' Lukas Jutkiewicz makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Birmingham City FC are in front.
10' 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 Conor Gallagher suffering a number of foals already.
12' The England Rhian Brewster breaks the deadlock on 12 minutes. 1-1!
17' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
22' Jayden Reid, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jay Fulton, as he is very good at scoring at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
32' Swansea City AFC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Birmingham City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
42' The 31-year-old Matt Grimes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
45' A goal from the Wales international Benjamin Cabango! He fires home on 45 to make it 1-2!
46' Time for substitution for Birmingham City FC. Scott Hogan is replaced by Jude Bellingham.
51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
52' Assisted by Matt Grimes with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jay Fulton makes no mistake. 1-3!
54' A moment of madness from Marc Roberts on 54 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Birmingham City FC will be frustrated.
59' 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.
64' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lee Camp made 383 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

71' Jay Fulton picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
