Quote from soccernet "The game has a wondeful ebb and flow to it for the neutral, but it's only as a result of terrible passing - the managers and the more discerning fan will be less than happy!"
Come on Brighton
16 mins: Brighton goalkeeper Ben Roberts advances off his line to collect the ball but spills it and there is momentary uncertainty in the penalty area. Fortunately for Mark McGhee's team it does not drop close to a City player and the Seagulls eventually clear their lines.
11 mins: Brian Tinnion tries his luck with a long-range free-kick but Ben Roberts easily saves. It is the first time either goalkeeper has been called into action.
8 mins: Bristol City's Louis Carey clashes with Brighton's Nathan Jones. Carey appears to grab Jones by the neck but the referee keeps his cards in his pocket and instead tells both players to calm down.
5 mins: Guy Butters, playing in his third play-off final, makes a crunching tackle on Christian Roberts, who requires treatment but soon recovers.
3 mins: Gary Jones enjoys a few early touches for Brighton pushing down the right side of midfield but the match has yet to develop into any real shape.
1500 BST: The final starts with half the ground in shade and the other bathed in sunshine. Brighton immediately launch the first attack of the game.
