Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Huddersfield Town AFC welcome Cardiff City FC for this crunch clash at John Smith's Stadium.
  • 2' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Matty Pearson makes it 1-0.
  • 7' With 0 assists to his name this season, Rubin Colwill is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Huddersfield Town AFC.
  • 12' A goal from the Greece international Dimitrios Goutas! He fires home on 12 to make it 1-1!
  • 17' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Huddersfield Town AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 22' named a 3-5-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 27' Ebou Adams needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 32' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 37' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 42' Cardiff City 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.
  • 43' Cardiff City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Yakou Meite on 43.
  • 45' That is a Yellow card for Huddersfield Town AFC. Michal Helik will be fuming at that decision.

  • 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 55' Perry Ng has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 55 minutes.
  • 60' 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 Joe Ralls suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' Yakou Meite makes way for Ike Ugbo at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cardiff City FC.
  • 63' A moment of madness from Manolis Siopis on 63 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Cardiff City FC will be frustrated.

  • 76' 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.
  • 80' Another change for Cardiff City FC made on 80 minute. Manolis Siopis leaves to be changed by Ebou Adams.
  • 85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 87' Poor challenge from Ebou Adams. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 90' Jamilu Collins picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
