Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Bristol City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Rotherham United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Rathbone made 140 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Rotherham United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The travelling Bristol City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bristol City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 35' It looks surprising Bristol City FC does not make any changes. Haydon Roberts has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' It’s high time Nigel Pearson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 42' Rotherham United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 47' Rotherham United 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.
  • 52' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' 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 Tyler Blackett suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' Sam Clucas is replacing Cafu for the Rotherham United FC side.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Andreas Weimann. He replaces Mark Sykes on 66 minute.
  • 71' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 74' It is a substitution in Rotherham United FC team. Jordan Hugill is replaced by Sam Nombe on 74 minute.
  • 79' The Bristol City FC manager makes a substitution. Jason Knight departs to be replaced by Tommy Conway.
  • 80' The Rotherham United FC manager makes a substitution. Cohen Bramall departs to be replaced by Sebastian Revan.
  • 81' Bristol City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Tommy Conway on 81.
  • 82' It’s a booking for Bristol City FC player. Nahki Wells gets a Yellow card.
  • 85' The whistle greets Sam Bell as he departs to be replaced by Haydon Roberts.
  • 86' GOAL! Tyler Blackett scores on 86.
  • 90' Bristol City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
