          ...  And out for a throw in 
Min. 90 :(bar) N_Lahmadi puts in K_Mitoma 
          ...  K_Mitoma with the drive! 
          ...  The shot takes a wicked deflection 
          ...  GOAL!! 
          ...  That was unfortunate 
          ...  That surely hands Barnsley victory!! 
          ...  Some people on the pitch! 
          ...  They think it's all over! 
          ...  It might be soon! 
          ...  Cardiff City 2-3 Barnsley ...
Min. 91 :(car) R_Koren saunters past S_M_Savic 
          ...  R_Koren hits the ball first time! 
          ...  He could have let that bounce 
          ...  L_Maximiano just watches it float over the bar!
