  • 5' Luis Sinisterra is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Cardiff City FC so far.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 387 games and scored 425 goals.
  • 20' Leeds United FC is showing some good football. However, Leeds United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 23' Josh Bowler makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Cardiff City FC are in front.
  • 28' Cardiff City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
  • 31' Cardiff City FC ring the changes. Joe Ralls has done his job and it is now time for Ebou Adams to step up.
  • 36' Cardiff City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 39' Assisted by Aaron Ramsey with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ike Ugbo makes no mistake. 0-2!

  • 53' The crowd applauds Liam Cooper as he leaves the pitch. Charlie Cresswell steps in for Leeds United FC.
  • 58' 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 Ebou Adams suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' Wales international Ethan Ampadu has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Cardiff City FC. Karlan Grant is replaced by Yakou Meite.
