  • 63' Time for substitution for Cardiff City FC. Perry Ng is replaced by Will Fish.
  • 65' Cardiff City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Chris Willock is hanging Anwar El Ghazi on the field on 65 minute.
  • 66' Poor challenge from Joe Ralls. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 70' Fresh legs for Cardiff City FC! Cian Ashford comes on to replace Wilfride Kanga.
  • 75' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Derby County FC and Cardiff City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
