Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Reading FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' Bristol City FC is showing some good football. However, Bristol City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 20' 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 Cameron Pring suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' Loum Ndiaye has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 34 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Nigel Pearson might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Reading FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Loum Ndiaye makes it 1-0.
  • 56' It is a substitution in Bristol City FC team. Nahki Wells is replaced by Tommy Conway on 56 minute.
  • 57' Another substitution for Bristol City FC to replace Joe Williams by Andreas Weimann on 57 minute.
  • 62' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Paul Ince will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 65' Poor challenge from Tommy Conway. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 68' Time for substitution for Reading FC. Lucas Joao is replaced by Shane Long.
  • 70' The whistle greets Jay Dasilva as he departs to be replaced by Cameron Pring.
  • 75' Reading FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 76' Cameron Pring picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 78' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Abdul Rahman Baba.
  • 81' Bristol City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andy King is hanging Zak Vyner on the field on 81 minute.
  • 82' Andy King is replacing Zak Vyner for the Bristol City FC side.
  • 87' Reading FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nelson Abbey is hanging Junior Hoilett on the field on 87 minute.
  • 88' It is a substitution in Reading FC team. Yakou Meite is replaced by Andy Carroll on 88 minute.
  • 90' Loum Ndiaye has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • The final score is 2-0.
