Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Millwall FC and Cardiff City FC has kicked off!
  • 2' Goal! Calum Scanlon scores his 1 goal in 409 matches.
  • 7' 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.
  • 12' It looks like no one’s ball. Millwall FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 19' What a strike from Casper De Norre! The score is 2-0.
  • 24' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Millwall FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 29' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yousef Salech made 17 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 39' It looks surprising Millwall FC does not make any changes. Jesper Daland has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' Goal! Chris Willock scores his 25 goal in 377 matches.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Cardiff City FC is showing some good football. However, Cardiff 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.
  • 57' Perry Ng is replacing Manolis Siopis for the Cardiff City FC side.
  • 59' Time for substitution for Millwall FC. Ryan Leonard is replaced by Dan McNamara.
  • 64' Tristan Crama is replacing Dan McNamara for the Millwall FC side.
  • 69' Anwar El Ghazi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Cian Ashford. He replaces Rubin Colwill on 70 minute.
  • 75' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 78' Millwall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. George Honeyman is hanging Calum Scanlon on the field on 78 minute.
  • 79' Another change for Cardiff City FC made on 79 minute. Chris Willock leaves to be changed by Anwar El Ghazi.
  • 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Millwall FC that had 382 games and scored 401 goals.
  • 89' 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 Calum Chambers suffering a number of foals already.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
