• Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Cardiff City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 363 games and scored 332 goals.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' 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 Murray Wallace suffering a number of foals already.
  • 27' Goal! Ryan Ledson scores his 6 goal in 369 matches.
  • 32' It’s high time Liam Manning made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dylan Lawlor, as he is very good at scoring at John Smith's Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 38' Time for substitution for Huddersfield Town AFC. Bojan Radulovic is replaced by George Sebine.
  • 43' It looks surprising Huddersfield Town AFC does not make any changes. Yousef Salech has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' Cardiff City FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 50' David Kasumu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 55' The travelling Cardiff City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dylan Lawlor on 59.
  • 60' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Alex Robertson departs to be replaced by David Turnbull.
  • 65' Huddersfield Town AFC 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.
  • 66' The whistle greets Rubin Colwill as he departs to be replaced by Callum Robinson.
  • 71' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 72' Ryan Wintle was booked on 72.
  • 76' The whistle greets Ryan Ledson as he departs to be replaced by Marcus McGuane.
  • 77' Huddersfield Town AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mickel Miller is hanging David Kasumu on the field on 77 minute.
  • 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Huddersfield Town AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 83' Joel Colwill has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryan Wintle on 83 minute.
