Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Bristol City FC is hosting Preston North End FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Bristol City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' Preston North End FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' Patrick Bauer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' Bristol City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' Preston North End FC is showing some good football. However, Preston North End FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andreas Weimann made 387 appearances and scored 67 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Alistair McCann has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' Sean Maguire has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Ben Whiteman picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 65' Alan Browne has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 69' Time for substitution for Bristol City FC. Andy King is replaced by Antoine Semenyo.
  • 73' Time for substitution for Preston North End FC. Emil Riis Jakobsen is replaced by Alistair McCann.
  • 78' The Bristol City FC manager makes a substitution. Zak Vyner departs to be replaced by Nahki Wells.
  • 79' Josh Murphy gets the nod from Preston North End FC. He replaces Daniel Johnson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Bristol City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 89' 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 Daniel Iversen suffering a number of foals already.
  • It finishes all square. Bristol City FC and Preston North End FC share the spoils 0-0.
