Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at The MKM Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Hull City AFC and Birmingham City FC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hull City AFC that had 380 games and scored 430 goals.
  • 15' Birmingham City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 17' What composure from George Honeyman! The England international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marc Roberts made 383 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 27' It looks surprising Birmingham City FC does not make any changes. Gary Gardner has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 32' Ivan Sunjic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Hull City AFC tonight.
  • 34' Controversy at the stadium! Scott Hogan argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.

  • 43' The referee shows Hull City AFC player a Yellow card on 43.
  • 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Di'Shon Bernard.
  • 46' Birmingham City FC ring the changes. Harlee Dean has done his job and it is now time for Jordan James to step up.
  • 51' Ryan Woods has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 56' Hull City AFC is showing some good football. However, Hull City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 57' What composure from Mallik Wilks! The England international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 61' The Birmingham City FC bench stirs into life. Troy Deeney is withdrawn and Lukas Jutkiewicz gets his opportunity.
  • 65' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jacob Greaves.
  • 70' With 0 assists to his name this season, Riley McGree is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Hull City AFC.
  • 72' A tactical swap from Hull City AFC — Randell Williams on, Ryan Longman off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Hull City AFC and Birmingham City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 78' The Birmingham City FC manager makes a substitution. Scott Hogan departs to be replaced by Chuks Aneke.
  • 79' Andy Cannon is ready to make an impact after coming on for George Honeyman at the 79 minute mark.
  • 83' Greg Docherty catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 83.
  • 88' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Birmingham City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Hull City AFC players.
