  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' It is a cagey affair so far. Norwich City FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Coventry City FC's compact 5-3-2.
  • 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 Oscar Schwartau suffering a number of foals already.
  • 24' Milan van Ewijk adds to his 0 season tally! Coventry City FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 34' Ben Sheaf has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 34.
  • 39' Benjamin Chrisene needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Yellow cards this season.

  • 65' It’s high time Johannes Thorup made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 68' The referee shows Coventry City FC player a card on 68.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Coventry City FC. Norman Bassette is replaced by Ellis Simms.
  • 76' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 81' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Norwich City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

  • 85' Kaide Gordon is replacing Benjamin Chrisene for the Norwich City FC side.
