Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Cardiff City FC host Ipswich Town FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The 30-year-old Marcus Harness has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' It is a cagey affair so far. Cardiff City FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Ipswich Town FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' Cardiff City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Ipswich Town FC backline.
