- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Bristol City FC and Aston Villa FC.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Axel Tuanzebe, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' The travelling Aston Villa FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' It’s high time Steve Bruce made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 16' What a strike from Josh Brownhill! The score is 1-0.
- 21' Marley Watkins has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 26' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jonathan Kodjia.
- 31' Bristol City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
- 36' Bristol 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.
- 41' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 45' Goal! Birkir Bjarnason scores his 16 goal in 355 matches.
- 46' It’s a booking for Bristol City FC player. Jack Hunt gets a Yellow card.
- 48' Sensational shot from Birkir Bjarnason. Aston Villa FC is back in the lead.
- 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bristol City FC that had 387 games and scored 433 goals.
- 57' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Matt Taylor.
- 62' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Alan Hutton.
- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 68' Another change for Bristol City FC made on 68 minute. Callum O'Dowda leaves to be changed by Jamie Paterson.
- 73' 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.
- 75' The Aston Villa FC manager makes a substitution. Jonathan Kodjia departs to be replaced by Yannick Bolasie.
- 80' 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 Mile Jedinak suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' It looks surprising Aston Villa FC does not make any changes. Alan Hutton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 87' The supporters are chanting for Marley Watkins. He replaces Niclas Eliasson on 87 minute.
