  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 16' Cardiff City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 16.
  • 21' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leeds United FC that had 358 games and scored 532 goals.
  • 23' That looks like a foul for a card for Joel Bagan.
  • 28' Cardiff City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
  • 30' Largie Ramazani puts Leeds United FC on the lead.

  • 64' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
