Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Coventry Building Society Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Coventry City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Haji Wright on 5.
  • 10' Burnley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 16' What an equalizer from Jaidon Anthony!
  • 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Liam Kitching on 18.
  • 23' It’s high time Frank Lampard made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 28' It looks surprising Burnley FC does not make any changes. Zian Flemming has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Burnley FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' 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 Tatsuhiro Sakamoto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' Burnley FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' Jaidon Anthony with the second goal in the match!
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Burnley FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burnley FC that had 342 games and scored 404 goals.
  • 66' 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.
  • 69' It is a substitution in Burnley FC team. Marcus Edwards is replaced by Zian Flemming on 69 minute.
  • 70' That looks like a foul for a card for CJ Egan-Riley.
  • 74' Another change for Coventry City FC made on 74 minute. Jamie Allen leaves to be changed by Victor Torp.
  • 76' The Burnley FC manager makes a substitution. Josh Brownhill departs to be replaced by Hannibal Mejbri.
  • 81' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 82' Ellis Simms has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tatsuhiro Sakamoto on 82 minute.
  • 84' Hannibal Mejbri was booked on 84.
  • 88' Another change for Burnley FC made on 88 minute. Lyle Foster leaves to be changed by Jeremy Sarmiento.
