Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' Coventry City FC is showing some good football. However, Coventry 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.

- 20' Gustavo Hamer has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' 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 Junior Hoilett suffering a number of foals already.

- 35' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 67' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Marlon Pack departs to be replaced by Will Vaulks.
- 72' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neil Harris will be considering his options from the bench.
- 77' Coventry City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cardiff City FC backline.
