Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Coventry City FC get us underway at Carrow Road.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Kitching made 13 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Ante Crnac has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 15' The 28-year-old Ben Sheaf has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' The travelling Coventry City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 24' Milan van Ewijk adds to his 0 season tally! Coventry City FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 29' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 34' That looks like a foul for a card for Ben Sheaf.
  • 39' It looks surprising Norwich City FC does not make any changes. Josh Eccles has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' 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 Kellen Fisher suffering a number of foals already.
  • 49' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 54' 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.
  • 59' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Norwich City FC and Coventry City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 60' A tactical swap from Norwich City FC — Onel Hernandez on, Ante Crnac off on 60 minutes.
  • 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Norwich City FC and Coventry City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 68' It’s a booking for Coventry City FC player. Josh Eccles gets a card.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Coventry City FC. Norman Bassette is replaced by Ellis Simms.
  • 76' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 81' Norwich City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 84' Another change for Norwich City FC made on 84 minute. Kellen Fisher leaves to be changed by Amankwah Forson.
  • 85' It is a substitution in Norwich City FC team. Benjamin Chrisene is replaced by Kaide Gordon on 85 minute.
