- 0' KICK OFF: Sutton United FC gets underway.
- 5' Birmingham City 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.
- 10' The referee calls foul for Jeremy Sivi. He receives a card.
- 15' Birmingham City FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sutton United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' It looks surprising Sutton United FC does not make any changes. Jeremy Sivi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 34' Goal! Willum Thor Willumsson scores his 14 goal in 178 matches.
- 39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 44' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Will Davies made 18 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 49' 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 Ryan Allsop suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' Another substitution for Sutton United FC to replace Will Davies by Ashley Nadesan on 50 minute.
- 55' 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.
- 57' Ethan Laird is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
- 61' It is a substitution in Sutton United FC team. Eduino Vaz is replaced by Dillon De Silva on 61 minute.
- 62' A meaty challenge results in booking for Keshi Anderson on 62.
- 67' Birmingham City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
- 72' Sutton United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 75' It is a substitution in Sutton United FC team. Jeremy Sivi is replaced by Matt Rush on 75 minute.
- 79' Lukas Jutkiewicz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ethan Laird on 79 minute.
- 84' Alex Kirk has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 89' Birmingham City FC is showing some good football. However, Birmingham 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.
- 90' It’s a booking for Sutton United FC player. Finley Barbrook gets a card.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
