Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Bristol City FC and Cardiff City FC has kicked off!
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' 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 Joe Ralls suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Poor challenge from Kion Etete. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Bristol City FC and Cardiff City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 25' Ross McCrorie has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 30' It is a cagey affair so far. Bristol City FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Cardiff City FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 35' Bristol City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bristol City FC and Cardiff City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dimitrios Goutas made 28 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 48' Poor challenge from Andy King. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 51' The whistle greets Kion Etete as he departs to be replaced by Yakou Meite.
  • 56' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' Another change for Bristol City FC made on 61 minute. Andy King leaves to be changed by Anis Mehmeti.
  • 64' Ollie Tanner gets the nod from Cardiff City FC. He replaces Josh Bowler and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 65' Another change for Cardiff City FC made on 65 minute. Joe Ralls leaves to be changed by Ryan Wintle.
  • 66' A stunning finish from Perry Ng — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 67' Josh Wilson-Esbrand picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 72' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 76' Taylor Gardner-Hickman has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 76.
  • 77' It is a substitution in Cardiff City FC team. Josh Wilson-Esbrand is replaced by Jamilu Collins on 77 minute.
  • 78' Cardiff City FC ring the changes. Joel Colwill has done his job and it is now time for Callum O'Dowda to step up.
  • 82' Adedire Awokoya-Mebude gets the nod from Bristol City FC. He replaces Mark Sykes and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 87' Cardiff 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.
  • 90' Bristol City FC ring the changes. Haydon Roberts has done his job and it is now time for Harry Cornick to step up.
  • Another three points for Cardiff City FC.
