Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Sheffield Wednesday FC to score. At the same time, Cardiff City FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Sheffield Wednesday FC is showing some good football. However, Sheffield Wednesday 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' 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.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yan Valery, as he is very good at scoring at Hillsborough with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' Manolis Siopis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 34' Goal! Ollie Tanner scores his 6 goal in 372 matches.
- 36' GOAL! Di'Shon Bernard scores on 36. Assisted by Josh Windass
- 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 372 games and scored 398 goals.
- 46' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

- 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sheffield Wednesday FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rubin Colwill made 372 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
