Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Rotherham United FC and Coventry City FC is underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Coventry City FC that had 374 games and scored 474 goals.
  • 10' The travelling Coventry City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Coventry City FC is showing some good football. However, Coventry 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' It’s high time Matt Taylor made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Callum O'Hare, as he is very good at scoring at New York Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 40' Matt Godden has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 50' 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.
  • 51' What a strike from Lee Peltier! The score is 1-0.
  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 87' 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 Arvin Appiah suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' Time for substitution for Rotherham United FC. Jordan Hugill is replaced by Georgie Kelly.
