Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Adams Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Wycombe Wanderers FC and Cardiff City FC.
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Wycombe Wanderers FC and Cardiff City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' Cardiff City FC is showing some good football. However, Cardiff 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.
  • 20' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Sean Morrison departs to be replaced by Filip Benkovic.
  • 25' Wycombe Wanderers FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 30' Joe Jacobson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 33' Ryan Tafazolli doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 38' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gareth Ainsworth will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 43' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Curtis Thompson.
  • 50' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' Cardiff City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 60' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 63' A goal from the England international David Wheeler! He fires home on 63 to make it 2-0!
  • 64' Wycombe Wanderers FC make a change. Daryl Horgan trudges off to be replaced by Fred Onyedinma on 64 minutes.
  • 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 72' Junior Hoilett is replacing Will Vaulks for the Cardiff City FC side.
