0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Plymouth Argyle FC to score. At the same time, Cardiff City FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' 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.
10' What composure from Perry Ng! The England international strokes it home. 0-1.
15' Plymouth Argyle FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
20' Plymouth Argyle FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
25' 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 Mahlon Romeo suffering a number of foals already.
30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Plymouth Argyle FC that had 345 games and scored 422 goals.
31' What an equalizer from Ryan Hardie!
35' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ashley Phillips.
36' Rubin Colwill picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
38' Dimitrios Goutas has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 38.
41' Mickel Miller catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 41.
46' Cardiff City FC ring the changes. Ollie Tanner has done his job and it is now time for Mahlon Romeo to step up.
50' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Bali Mumba.
52' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ryan Hardie makes no mistake. 2-1!
57' Kion Etete has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
61' Dan Scarr has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 61.
65' A change in the Cardiff City FC ranks — Yakou Meite exits the field as Kion Etete enters on 65.
66' It is a substitution in Cardiff City FC team. Andy Rinomhota is replaced by Josh Bowler on 66 minute.
71' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Erol Bulut will be considering his options from the bench.
76' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
77' Adam Randell is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alfie Devine at the 77 minute mark.
81' A goal from the England international Morgan Whittaker! He fires home on 81 to make it 3-1!
84' The Plymouth Argyle FC bench stirs into life. Adam Forshaw is withdrawn and Jordan Houghton gets his opportunity.
89' Plymouth Argyle FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
90' It is a substitution in Plymouth Argyle FC team. Ryan Hardie is replaced by Ben Waine on 90 minute.
Plymouth Argyle FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
