- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' 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.
- 19' Brilliant from the forward! Alfie May makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 19.
- 22' Kwame Poku is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 1 goals this season for the .
- 27' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
- 37' Taylor Gardner-Hickman makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Birmingham City FC are in front.
- 42' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 47' 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.

- 75' 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 Alfons Sampsted suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' Gustav Lindgren is replacing Ricky Jade-Jones for the Peterborough United FC side.
- 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
