- 0' In just a few seconds Montgomery Waters Meadow will turn into a battlefield for Shrewsbury Town FC and Birmingham City FC.
- 5' It’s high time Gareth Ainsworth made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Birmingham City FC that had 383 games and scored 417 goals.
- 15' Tomoki Iwata needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 15 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' The referee calls foul for John Marquis. He receives a card.
- 25' Birmingham City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' The referee shows Birmingham City FC player a card on 30.
- 31' GOAL! Aaron Pierre scores on 31. Assisted by Tom Bloxham
- 34' Birmingham City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lyndon Dykes is hanging Keshi Anderson on the field on 34 minute.
- 38' Goal! John Marquis scores his 95 goal in 235 matches.
- 43' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leo Castledine, as he is very good at scoring at Montgomery Waters Meadow with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 44' GOAL! Tomoki Iwata scores on 44.
- 49' It looks like no one’s ball. Birmingham City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 54' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 55' Goal! Tom Bloxham scores his 15 goal in 329 matches.

- 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
- 70' 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 Ayumu Yokoyama suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Jordan Rossiter. He replaces Taylor Perry on 71 minute.

- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leo Castledine on 90.
- 90' It is a substitution in Shrewsbury Town FC team. Tom Bloxham is replaced by George Lloyd on 90 minute.
