Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Blackburn Rovers FC launch into their encounter with Coventry City FC.
  • 5' Coventry City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' Blackburn Rovers FC have won 469 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Blackburn Rovers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' 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 Joel Latibeaudiere suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Coventry City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 37' The referee shows Coventry City FC player a card on 37.
  • 41' Ellis Simms does the damage! The net is bulging and Coventry City FC surge ahead!
  • 46' Blackburn Rovers FC ring the changes. Callum Brittain has done his job and it is now time for Adam Forshaw to step up.
  • 48' Brandon Thomas-Asante has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 48 minutes.
  • 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Coventry City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 58' Andreas Weimann gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces John Buckley and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 59' Time for substitution for Blackburn Rovers FC. Danny Batth is replaced by Dion Sanderson.
  • 64' The 23-year-old Owen Beck has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 69' Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is ready to make an impact after coming on for Victor Torp at the 69 minute mark.
  • 74' Blackburn Rovers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' The energy levels are beginning to show. Frank Lampard might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 84' 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.
  • 86' Coventry City FC make a change. Ellis Simms trudges off to be replaced by Norman Bassette on 86 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
