Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Weston Homes Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Peterborough United FC and Cardiff City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Peterborough United FC that had 397 games and scored 608 goals.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Ward made 397 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mick McCarthy will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Peterborough United FC is showing some good football. However, Peterborough 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.
  • 30' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Harrison Burrows has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 44' The referee calls foul for Marlon Pack. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 45' Aden Flint was booked on 45.
  • 49' Harrison Burrows makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Peterborough United FC are in front.
  • 51' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Siriki Dembele makes it 2-0.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Peterborough United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' The crowd applauds Mark Beevers as he leaves the pitch. Ethan Hamilton steps in for Peterborough United FC.
  • 62' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Perry Ng departs to be replaced by Kieffer Moore.
  • 67' Peterborough United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
  • 68' The Peterborough United FC manager makes a substitution. Siriki Dembele departs to be replaced by Jack Marriott.
  • 73' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 77' Cardiff City FC make a change. James Collins trudges off to be replaced by Rubin Colwill on 77 minutes.
  • 81' Jonson Clarke-Harris makes way for Joel Randall at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Peterborough United FC.
  • 83' Magnificent from Aden Flint! That is 16 goals in 398 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 86' That is a Yellow card for Peterborough United FC. Joe Ward will be fuming at that decision.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
