  • 1' GOAL! Delano Burgzorg scores on 1.
  • 6' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Stoke City FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 11' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 16' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 16 minutes.
  • 21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jason Knight made 385 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 26' 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.
  • 31' 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 Sorba Thomas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Stoke City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 35.
  • 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Radek Vitek, as he is very good at scoring at Ashton Gate with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 45' It looks like no one’s ball. Stoke City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Stoke City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' It’s a booking for Stoke City FC player. Junior Tchamadeu gets a card.
  • 63' That looks like a foul for a card for Ross McCrorie.
  • 68' The travelling Stoke City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 73' Stoke City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 78' Bristol City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 78.
  • 83' Stoke City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 88' GOAL! Sam Bell scores on 88.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Bristol City FC players.
