- 17' Maxime Colin is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Stoke City FC so far.
- 22' 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 Josef Bursik suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' GOAL! Tyrese Campbell fires home to make it 1-1!
- 30' 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.

- 63' Stoke City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
