74 mins 2-0 Posh
All about keeping the ball now for Posh. They’re making a decent fist of that. JCH holding the ball up well, wins a free-kick for Posh on the edge of the Blues box.
71 mins 2-0 Posh
Posh full of confidence now. Morton is causing all kinds of problems, he breaks down the left again, as for the penalty, jinks past his man and slides it to Poku to shoot on the edge of the box. Shame it’s scuffed horribly over.
68 mins 2-0 Posh
Just before that, Benda made a great save with his feet from Gardner, what an important save that was.
65 mins 1-0 Posh
Not much action this half. Neither side staking a claim to score the next goal. Posh seeing more of the ball.
As I say that, Mumba slides a ball through to Morton in the box, he makes the run and looks to slide it under an on-rushing Etheridge. He’s covered his ground well and makes the block.
Change in midfield for Birmingham. Gary Gardner for Sunjic.
Posh bring on Morton for his debut in place of Marriott.
60 mins 1-0 Posh
Bit of a midfield battle, neither side able to find a killer pass in the final third. Birmingham win a corner though, Kent blocks Bela’s cross well.
