Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Coventry City FC is hosting Blackburn Rovers FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' The 33-year-old Jake Bidwell has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 8' Harry Pickering doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 13' Thomas Kaminski, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 18' 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 Joe Rankin-Costello suffering a number of foals already.
  • 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 382 games and scored 469 goals.

  • 49' Sam Gallagher catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 49.
  • 54' It looks like no one’s ball. Coventry City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
