Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Birmingham City FC gets underway.
5' Lukas Jutkiewicz has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 5 minutes.
10' Benjamin Cabango has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 141 appearances.
12' Goal! Rhian Brewster scores his 19 goal in 411 matches.
17' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Birmingham City FC that had 387 games and scored 421 goals.
22' 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 Connor Roberts suffering a number of foals already.
27' Both keepers have barely been tested. Birmingham City FC and Swansea City AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jake Clarke-Salter, as he is very good at scoring at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
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' Marc Roberts has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
45' Benjamin Cabango has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
46' Jude Bellingham has so much to prove this time. He replaces Scott Hogan on 46 minute.
51' Lee Camp is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Swansea City AFC tonight.
52' The deadlock is broken! Jay Fulton gets on the scoresheet on 52 minutes.
54' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Marc Roberts on 54 minutes.
59' Andre Ayew has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
64' Birmingham City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
69' Birmingham City FC have won 421 goals from 387 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
71' It’s a booking for Swansea City AFC player. Jay Fulton gets a Yellow card.
72' That is a Yellow card for Birmingham City FC. Gary Gardner will be fuming at that decision.
77' Jeremie Bela makes way for Jayden Reid at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Birmingham City FC.
82' Wayne Routledge has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rhian Brewster on 82 minute.
85' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Marc Guehi.
90' It’s a booking for Swansea City AFC player. Kyle Naughton gets a Yellow card.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Birmingham City FC 1-3 Swansea City AFC.
