5' It looks like no one’s ball. Birmingham City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Birmingham City FC that had 383 games and scored 417 goals.

18' It is a substitution in Leeds United FC team. Sam Byram is replaced by Junior Firpo on 18 minute.
20' The referee calls foul for Jay Stansfield. He receives a Yellow card.
21' Jay Stansfield is having his name booked by the referee on 21.
