MATCH THREAD: BIRMINGHAM C v CARDIFF C “MATCH THREAD

A very accomplished finish... made it look very easy, but he had to adjust his body angle in a split second, in addition to having to ensure he got the shot right in the corner.

James fires wide from the edge of the box. (

Romeo's header is saved by Etheridge.

Etete reaches Tanner's cross, but he shoots way over while stretching.

kion_etete & @karlangrant causing trouble. They look to break in behind, with Etete rounding Etheridge and looking to get the ball back to Grant, but they cannot find a way to get a shot away amongst a whole host of defenders.

Birmingham also having the same amount of chances

Rinomhota booked

Close! Runarsson pulls off a fine diving save from Bacca's free-kick on the edge of the area! Nearly a repeat of that Round One curler

@RubinColwill's low cross but is well wide by @kion_etete.

End to end now it’s BRUM’s turn

Oakley booked for a challenge on Grant.

Brum attack again

Coming to half-time

Cardiff defended their lead well and created a number of chances

H-T 0-1

City have been by far the better team. Birmingham didn't do much apart from the last 5 mins of the half and the earlier free kick.

Their fans very quiet.

76% possession?

What have they done with the normal Cardiff City.

Bluebirds

Brum have made a sub

Etete is in on goal, tries a backheel pass, but the home side clear easily

Etete booked moments later for blocking Etheridge's quick free-kick.

Red card for brum.
