- 20' 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.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Will Evans made 2 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' Birmingham 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' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Keanu Baccus needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 47 Yellow cards this season.
- 50' Birmingham City FC is showing some good football. However, Birmingham City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Birmingham City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 83' 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 Alex Cochrane suffering a number of foals already.
- 88' Birmingham City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 88.
- The final score is 1-1.
