Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Bristol City FC launch into their encounter with Millwall FC.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jake Cooper, as he is very good at scoring at Ashton Gate with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 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 Sam Tickle suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The referee calls foul for Josh Coburn. He receives a card.
  • 20' Robert Atkinson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 12 Yellow cards this season.
  • 23' Poor challenge from Adam Randell. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 28' Millwall FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 30' It is a substitution in Millwall FC team. Femi Azeez is replaced by Kyrell Lisbie on 30 minute.
  • 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 36' A moment of madness from Adam Randell on 36 minutes earns him a card. Bristol City FC will be frustrated.
  • 41' What a strike from Josh Coburn! The score is 0-1.
  • 45' It’s gonna be a card for Jenson Metcalfe.
  • 46' The whistle greets Yu Hirakawa as he departs to be replaced by Joe Williams.
  • 50' Josh Coburn doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 55' Sam Greenwood has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' Bristol City FC ring the changes. Lisav Eissat has done his job and it is now time for Rio Cardines to step up.
  • 62' England international Zak Sturge has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 64' Fresh legs for Bristol City FC! Sam Bell comes on to replace Lorent Tolaj.
  • 65' Millwall FC ring the changes. Tairyk Arconte has done his job and it is now time for Luke Cundle to step up.
  • 70' Rob Dickie has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 3 cards already picked up this season.
  • 75' Bristol City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
  • 80' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 83' Fresh legs for Millwall FC! Daniel Kelly comes on to replace Zak Sturge.
  • 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jason Knight made 392 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Millwall FC take all three points.
