Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Kenilworth Road. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Luton Town FC and Cardiff City FC.
  • 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Luton Town FC and Cardiff City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 10' Luton Town FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cardiff City FC backline.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Luton Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Clark made 232 appearances and scored 38 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' Mark McGuinness needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 26 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Luton Town FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 43' Carlton Morris is having his name booked by the referee on 43.
  • 46' A change in the Cardiff City FC ranks — Ollie Tanner exits the field as Yakou Meite enters on 46.
  • 51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 56' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Omer Riza will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 57' Jacob Brown adds to his 4 season tally! Luton Town FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 61' Fresh legs for Luton Town FC! Elijah Adebayo comes on to replace Jacob Brown.
  • 65' It is a substitution in Luton Town FC team. Tahith Chong is replaced by Shandon Baptiste on 65 minute.
  • 70' Another substitution for Cardiff City FC to replace Anwar El Ghazi by Chris Willock on 70 minute.
  • 75' 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 Rubin Colwill suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' With 0 assists to his name this season, Thomas Kaminski is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Luton Town FC.
  • 83' A change in the Cardiff City FC ranks — Manolis Siopis exits the field as Wilfride Kanga enters on 83.
  • 84' Teden Mengi picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 86' Dimitrios Goutas was booked on 86.
  • 89' Marvelous Nakamba is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tom Krauss at the 89 minute mark.
