Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Fulham FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Cardiff City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 372 games and scored 398 goals.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' It looks surprising Cardiff City FC does not make any changes. Kenny Tete has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Fulham FC is showing some good football. However, Fulham FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Cardiff City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' What a strike from Tim Ream! The score is 0-1.
  • 45' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 50' Cardiff City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 53' Cardiff City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 57' The supporters are chanting for Isaak Davies. He replaces Rubin Colwill on 57 minute.
  • 62' 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 Thomas Doyle suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Harrison Reed was booked on 66.
  • 67' Cardiff City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joel Bagan is hanging Alfie Doughty on the field on 67 minute.
  • 72' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Harry Wilson made 385 appearances and scored 55 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Fulham FC. Harrison Reed is replaced by Josh Onomah.
  • 76' Ryan Wintle has so much to prove this time. He replaces Will Vaulks on 76 minute.
  • 79' Time for substitution for Fulham FC. Neco Williams is replaced by Kenny Tete.
  • 84' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' Fulham FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ivan Cavaleiro is hanging Bobby Reid on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Aleksandar Mitrovic.
  • Full Time. Fulham FC beats Cardiff City FC
