- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Carl Rushworth made 65 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' 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.
- 19' Coventry City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Brandon Thomas-Asante on 19.
- 24' It looks surprising Coventry City FC does not make any changes. Haji Wright has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 65' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
