Match Events

0' And we are off! Leeds United FC vs Cardiff City FC — let the football do the talking.
5' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
15' A quiet spell here at Elland Road. Cardiff City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
20' Dimitrios Goutas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
23' Magnificent from Josh Bowler! That is 18 goals in 380 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
28' 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.
31' Time for substitution for Cardiff City FC. Joe Ralls is replaced by Ebou Adams.
36' Leeds United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 36.
39' GOAL! Ike Ugbo fires home to make it 0-2!
44' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 44 minutes.
46' Another substitution for Leeds United FC to replace Leo Hjelde by Sam Byram on 46 minute.
49' What a strike from Liam Cooper! The score is 1-2.
53' Leeds United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Charlie Cresswell is hanging Liam Cooper on the field on 53 minute.
58' Archie Gray has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 3 cards already picked up this season.
63' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ebou Adams made 12 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
65' Yakou Meite has so much to prove this time. He replaces Karlan Grant on 65 minute.
70' Yakou Meite has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 70.
75' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
78' A tactical swap from Cardiff City FC — Mahlon Romeo on, Ike Ugbo off on 78 minutes.
82' Another substitution for Leeds United FC to replace Daniel James by Ian Poveda on 82 minute.
83' Leeds United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joe Gelhardt is hanging Wilfried Gnonto on the field on 83 minute.
88' 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.
90' The referee shows Leeds United FC player a Yellow card on 90.
90' Leeds United FC ring the changes. Archie Gray has done his job and it is now time for Sonny Perkins to step up.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Leeds United FC 2-2 Cardiff City FC.
