Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Cardiff City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' It looks surprising Bristol City FC does not make any changes. Ollie Tanner has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Rubin Colwill has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 18' It is a substitution in Bristol City FC team. Cameron Pring is replaced by Ross McCrorie on 18 minute.
  • 23' 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 Manolis Siopis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 28' It’s high time Liam Manning made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' Bristol City FC is showing some good football. However, Bristol 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.
  • 38' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 48' 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.

  • 54' Ollie Tanner puts Cardiff City FC on the lead.
  • 56' Another change for Bristol City FC made on 56 minute. Yu Hirakawa leaves to be changed by Max Bird.
  • 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Ralls made 372 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 66' It’s a booking for Cardiff City FC player. Joe Ralls gets a card.
  • 66' Callum O'Dowda has so much to prove this time. He replaces Callum Robinson on 66 minute.
  • 71' 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.

  • 90' Another change for Cardiff City FC made on 90 minute. Dimitrios Goutas leaves to be changed by Yakou Meite.
