Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Coventry City FC and Birmingham City FC get this one started.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kyle McFadzean made 372 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Neil Etheridge needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 5 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Leo Ostigard has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 25' Coventry City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Birmingham City FC's shape.
  • 30' 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 San Jose suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Coventry City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' Birmingham City FC is showing some good football. However, Birmingham City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 64' George Friend is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Coventry City FC so far.
  • 68' Fresh legs for Coventry City FC! Maxime Biamou comes on to replace Jordan Shipley.
