  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Cardiff City FC launch into their encounter with Birmingham City FC.
  • 3' The deadlock is broken! Kristian Pedersen gets on the scoresheet on 3 minutes.
  • 8' Ivan Sunjic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 13' Birmingham City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 13.

  • 23' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 28' A quiet spell here at Cardiff City Stadium. Cardiff City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 30' GOAL! Joe Ralls scores on 30.
  • 32' Ivan Sunjic picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 62' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
