  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' The deadlock is broken! Matt Godden gets on the scoresheet on 20 minutes.
  • 25' Coventry City FC have won 474 goals from 374 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 49' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
