Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Swansea City AFC and Cardiff City FC get this one started.
  • 5' Harry Darling has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' The Wales Liam Cullen breaks the deadlock on 10 minutes. 1-0!
  • 15' The 26-year-old Jesper Daland has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' Ji-sung Eom has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 391 appearances.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' Swansea City AFC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cardiff City FC backline.
  • 35' Wilfride Kanga has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Swansea City AFC and Cardiff City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 45' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Cardiff City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 58' Time for substitution for Swansea City AFC. Ji-sung Eom is replaced by Azeem Abdulai.
  • 59' The crowd applauds Alex Robertson as he leaves the pitch. Rubin Colwill steps in for Cardiff City FC.
  • 64' Cardiff 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.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Swansea City AFC team. Goncalo Franco is replaced by Zan Vipotnik on 67 minute.
  • 69' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Yakou Meite departs to be replaced by Ollie Tanner.
  • 73' Fresh legs for Cardiff City FC! Callum Robinson comes on to replace Chris Willock.
  • 78' Time for substitution for Swansea City AFC. Josh Key is replaced by Kyle Naughton.
  • 79' GOAL! Callum Robinson fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 84' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anwar El Ghazi made 361 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 89' 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 Aaron Ramsey suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Joe Allen.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
