  • 10' Bristol City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' Anis Mehmeti has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 12 cards already picked up this season.
  • 18' Cameron Pring makes way for Ross McCrorie at the 18 minute mark. A tactical switch from Bristol City FC.
  • 23' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anwar El Ghazi made 366 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 33' Cardiff City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 38' The energy levels are beginning to show. Liam Manning might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 48' Cardiff City FC come into this ranked 24 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 49' Ross McCrorie was booked on 49.
  • 54' Ollie Tanner has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 54 minutes.
  • 56' Bristol City FC ring the changes. Yu Hirakawa has done his job and it is now time for Max Bird to step up.
  • 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
  • 66' Poor challenge from Joe Ralls. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 66' Another substitution for Cardiff City FC to replace Callum Robinson by Callum O'Dowda on 66 minute.
  • 71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 384 games and scored 416 goals.

  • 84' Manolis Siopis is replacing Alex Robertson for the Cardiff City FC side.
  • 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Mark Sykes argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Cardiff City FC — Yakou Meite on, Dimitrios Goutas off on 90 minutes.
