- 0' We are underway at Selhurst Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Crystal Palace FC is showing some good football. However, Crystal Palace FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crystal Palace FC that had 322 games and scored 376 goals.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cardiff City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Bobby Reid has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 31' Cardiff City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 31.
- 36' 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 Lee Peltier suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' Crystal Palace FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 45' Cardiff City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' 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.

- 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 63' Connor Wickham is replacing Max Meyer for the Crystal Palace FC side.

- 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
- 77' It’s a booking for Cardiff City FC player. Victor Camarasa gets a Yellow card.
- 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Bennett made 372 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 87' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' The whistle greets Victor Camarasa as he departs to be replaced by Aron Einar Gunnarsson.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
