Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Cardiff City FC get us underway at Cardiff City Stadium.
- 5' Cardiff City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Queens Park Rangers FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Rumarn Burrell scoring 2 goals.
- 15' Cardiff City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' Luke Amos has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 395 appearances.
- 25' Queens Park Rangers FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' Andre Gray has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 37' What composure from Andre Gray! The Jamaica international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 42' Jimmy Dunne, a Ireland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 47' Rob Dickie picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 52' 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.
- 54' Queens Park Rangers FC ring the changes. Andre Gray has done his job and it is now time for Charlie Austin to step up.
- 59' Queens Park Rangers FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 63' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Kieron Evans departs to be replaced by Mark Harris.
- 68' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 73' 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 Perry Ng suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' Fresh legs for Queens Park Rangers FC! Dominic Ball comes on to replace Ilias Chair.
- 79' Cardiff City FC make a change. Will Vaulks trudges off to be replaced by Joe Ralls on 79 minutes.

- 85' Albert Adomah has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 85.
- 90' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Cardiff City FC.
