Events

Match Events

  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Josh Cullen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Burnley FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 19' Josh Brownhill does the damage! The net is bulging and Burnley FC surge ahead!
  • 24' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Trafford made 449 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 34' The home supporters are growing impatient. Cardiff City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 39' Cardiff City FC is showing some good football. However, Cardiff 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.
  • 40' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Maxime Esteve makes it 0-2.
  • 42' Yousef Salech makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Cardiff City FC are in front.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Cardiff City FC! Will Fish comes on to replace Andy Rinomhota.

  • 56' Joe Worrall has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 1 goals this season.

  • 66' The travelling Burnley FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 70' Fresh legs for Cardiff City FC! Callum Robinson comes on to replace Joel Bagan.
  • 72' Burnley FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Josh Laurent is hanging Hannibal Mejbri on the field on 72 minute.

  • 79' Fresh legs for Burnley FC! Jeremy Sarmiento comes on to replace Marcus Edwards.
  • 84' Burnley FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
