Goal Timing (This Season)
Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Cardiff City FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Denham made 372 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' 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.
- 35' 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.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Liverpool FC that had 409 games and scored 805 goals.
- 45' It’s high time Steve Morison made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 46' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Caoimhin Kelleher.

- 59' The whistle greets Mark Harris as he departs to be replaced by Isaak Davies.
- 64' 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 Takumi Minamino suffering a number of foals already.
