- 1' What a moment for Mikey Johnston! That strike on 1 puts his side firmly in control.
- 6' 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 Yakou Meite suffering a number of foals already.
- 11' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 16' Cardiff City FC have won 425 goals from 387 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 31' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

- 58' The whistle greets Yakou Meite as he departs to be replaced by Kion Etete.
- 59' Manolis Siopis gets the nod from Cardiff City FC. He replaces David Turnbull and will look to change the dynamic.
