Events

Match Events

0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Swansea City AFC launch into their encounter with Birmingham City FC.
2' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jamie Paterson.
7' The home supporters are growing impatient. Swansea City AFC must find a spark to ignite this game.
12' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
17' Tyler Roberts has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
22' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Michael Duff will be considering his options from the bench.
27' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Tyler Roberts on 27 minutes.
32' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Swansea City AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
37' Birmingham City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
42' 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 Jamie Paterson suffering a number of foals already.
45' Assisted by Keshi Anderson with the perfectly-timed delivery and Siriki Dembele makes no mistake. 0-1!
50' Ivan Sunjic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 188 appearances.
55' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
60' named a 5-3-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
61' Another substitution for Birmingham City FC to replace Tyler Roberts by Jordan James on 61 minute.
66' England international Harry Darling has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
69' Swansea City AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Azeem Abdulai is hanging Harrison Ashby on the field on 69 minute.
70' The Swansea City AFC bench stirs into life. Jamie Paterson is withdrawn and Liam Cullen gets his opportunity.
75' Swansea City AFC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Birmingham City FC backline.
76' Magnificent from Jerry Yates! That is 68 goals in 57 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
81' Kevin Long has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
84' The crowd applauds Keshi Anderson as he leaves the pitch. Juninho Bacuna steps in for Birmingham City FC.
85' The supporters are chanting for Lukas Jutkiewicz. He replaces Scott Hogan on 85 minute.
87' Ivan Sunjic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
90' Birmingham City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
