Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Cardiff City Stadium. Cardiff City FC are looking to make home advantage count against Swansea City AFC.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cardiff City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cardiff City FC and Swansea City AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ji-sung Eom made 395 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' Swansea City AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 24' Fresh legs for Cardiff City FC! Joel Bagan comes on to replace Callum O'Dowda.
  • 29' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 34' The energy levels are beginning to show. Luke Williams might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 39' Sam Parker has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 395 appearances.

  • 55' Zan Vipotnik has so much to prove this time. He replaces Joe Allen on 55 minute.

  • 65' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 67' Magnificent from Dimitrios Goutas! That is 5 goals in 27 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 72' Jak Alnwick, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 76' The Swansea City AFC manager makes a substitution. Josh Key departs to be replaced by Kyle Naughton.
  • 81' It’s gonna be a card for Liam Cullen.
  • 84' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Ollie Tanner departs to be replaced by Yakou Meite.
  • 85' The whistle greets Ronald as he departs to be replaced by Sam Parker.
  • 88' That is a card for Swansea City AFC. Florian Bianchini will be fuming at that decision.
