  • 17' The home supporters are growing impatient. Coventry City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 22' 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 Marko Marosi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 24' That is a Yellow card for Coventry City FC. Leo Ostigard will be fuming at that decision.

  • 56' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
