Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Peterborough United FC vs Birmingham City FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 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.
  • 52' Archie Collins has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 20 cards already picked up this season.
  • 54' That looks like a foul for a card for Luke Harris.
  • 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 62' Keshi Anderson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Taylor Gardner-Hickman on 62 minute.
  • 64' It is a substitution in Peterborough United FC team. Carl Johnston is replaced by Hector Matthew Kyprianou on 64 minute.
  • 69' Birmingham City FC have won 426 goals from 391 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 70' Tomoki Iwata is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
  • 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?
  • 84' Peterborough United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan De Havilland is hanging Archie Collins on the field on 84 minute.
  • 87' Another substitution for Birmingham City FC to replace Luke Harris by Grant Hanley on 87 minute.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Peterborough United FC 1-2 Birmingham City FC.
