Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Blackburn Rovers FC vs Coventry City FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Coventry City FC have won 474 goals from 374 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' The 30-year-old Dominic Hyam has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' Coventry City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 382 games and scored 469 goals.
  • 25' Coventry City FC is showing some good football. However, Coventry 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.
  • 27' Magnificent from Ben Brereton! That is 61 goals in 382 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 32' 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 Ben Wilson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leo Ostigard, as he is very good at scoring at Ewood Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 50' What a strike from Matty James! The score is 1-1.
  • 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Blackburn Rovers FC and Coventry City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 61' Poor challenge from Barry Douglas. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 62' It is a substitution in Blackburn Rovers FC team. Lewis Travis is replaced by Tom Trybull on 62 minute.
  • 67' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jordan Shipley is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Coventry City FC.
  • 69' Leo Ostigard has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 69.
  • 70' Josh Pask gets the nod from Coventry City FC. He replaces Fankaty Dabo and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 75' Bradley Dack is ready to make an impact after coming on for Corry Evans at the 75 minute mark.
  • 78' Another substitution for Coventry City FC to replace Tyler Walker by Viktor Gyokeres on 78 minute.
  • 83' Leo Ostigard picks up a Red card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 87' Tyrhys Dolan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Joe Rothwell at the 87 minute mark.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
