Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Cardiff City Stadium!
  • 1' It’s a booking for Wigan Athletic FC player. Lee Evans gets a Yellow card.
  • 5' What a strike from Kieffer Moore! The score is 0-1.
  • 8' GOAL! Josh Murphy fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 13' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 372 games and scored 398 goals.
  • 18' 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.
  • 23' The travelling Wigan Athletic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Josh Murphy.
  • 30' Cardiff City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 31' Joe Williams is having his name booked by the referee on 31.
  • 36' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 41' Sam Morsy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 380 appearances.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Cardiff City FC — Leandro Bacuna on, Joe Bennett off on 46 minutes.
  • 49' Kieffer Moore puts Wigan Athletic FC on the lead.
  • 54' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 55' Kal Naismith adds to his 0 season tally! Wigan Athletic FC lead 1-3 — and this changes everything.
  • 60' Wigan Athletic FC have won 405 goals from 380 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 65' Fresh legs for Wigan Athletic FC! Anthony Pilkington comes on to replace Gavin Massey.
  • 70' Cardiff City 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.
  • 75' Sean Morrison catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 75.
  • 75' Daniel Ward is ready to make an impact after coming on for Callum Paterson at the 75 minute mark.
  • 80' Controversy at the stadium! Will Vaulks argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 82' Controversy at the stadium! Joe Gelhardt argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 86' The Wigan Athletic FC manager makes a substitution. Jamal Lowe departs to be replaced by Michael Jacobs.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
