Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Cardiff City FC gets underway.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 366 games and scored 485 goals.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' Cardiff City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' It looks surprising Cardiff City FC does not make any changes. Joe Bennett has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 40' That looks like a foul for a card for Przemyslaw Placheta.

- 46' Greg Leigh has so much to prove this time. He replaces Peter Kioso on 46 minute.
- 51' It’s a booking for Oxford United FC player. Michal Helik gets a card.
- 56' Goal! Yousef Salech scores his 11 goal in 17 matches.
- 59' It’s gonna be a card for Alex Matos.
- 64' 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 Jamie Cumming suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' Oxford United 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.
- 70' Another substitution for Oxford United FC to replace Alex Matos by Ruben Rodrigues on 70 minute.
- 75' Rubin Colwill has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alex Robertson on 75 minute.
- 78' That looks like a foul for a card for Sivert Mannsverk.

- 81' It is a substitution in Cardiff City FC team. Sivert Mannsverk is replaced by David Turnbull on 81 minute.

- 87' Oxford United FC is showing some good football. However, Oxford United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
