  • 4' It’s gonna be a card for Ross McCrorie.
  • 9' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 14' 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 Jason Knight suffering a number of foals already.
  • 19' It’s a booking for Oxford United FC player. Greg Leigh gets a card.
  • 24' Oxford United FC is showing some good football. However, Oxford United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' Bristol 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.
  • 59' GOAL! Greg Leigh fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 64' Poor challenge from Michal Helik. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
