- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Luton Town FC and Cardiff City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' 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 Kieffer Moore suffering a number of foals already.

- 47' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 76' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 76 minutes.
- 77' Magnificent from Sean Morrison! That is 15 goals in 377 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

- 84' Time for substitution for Luton Town FC. Glen Rea is replaced by Henri Lansbury.
