Play by play
- 94'
FULL-TIME: There will be some tired legs tomorrow morning amongst these players as the game was played at a furious pace. A draw is a fair result for two sides who both contributed hugely to an entertaining match.
- 94'
Ireland picks out Jo to his left but the sustitute can't get his cross over the face of the Hull goal and City have a corner which Richards heads harmlessly wide after doing well to get up to reach it.
- 91'
Ricketts hooks away Zabaleta's cross from the right and good job he did as City had men lurking behind him ready to pounce if the Hull man missed it.
- 89'
Vassell goes so close to winning the game for City as he finds himself in space after Ireland's determined knockdown gives him a glorious chance to score. Schmeichel stands firm though and does well to parry away his shot from ten yards.
- 88'
Great defensive header from McShane clears the danger for hull.
- 87'
City press through Robinho and he is brought down clumsily by Marney whose name is now logged in the book.
- 84'
This time Geovanni opts for placing isntead of power and this time the wall stays where it should, conceding a corner in the process which Hull make little of.
- 83'
Geovanni takes a huge run up and thumps the ball against the encroaching wall. The free-kick will be taken again and Wright-Phillips has been booked. The second attempt is again blocked by Stephen Ireland who has illegally advanced and he too is booked. Third time lucky?
- 81'
Hull shout for a free-kick which they get on the edge of the City penalty area as Richards hacks down Ashbee.

Turner puts in a great tackle before Ricketts shouts for a foul. It's a throw to City though and we are apparently now entering the time when mistakes are made according to the TV commentary team at Hull. What was the first half then?

Robinho finds his compatriot Jo with a through ball but his first touch of the ball is heavy and Hull quickly deal with the threat.
- 76'
Hull are taking off Daniel Cousin which is a bit of a strange one and he is replaced by Nick Barmby.
- 75'
And indeed Benjani makes way for him.

city striker Jo is about to enhance the quota of Brazilians strutting their stuff in Hull tonight as he prepares to enter the fray.

- 73'
Ben-Haim puts it out for a throw and with King and Marney lurking in the City penalty areea the ball is played in but City are alive to the danger and clear their lines.
- 72'
Geovanni has strayed offside as a pass is played up towards him.
- 71'
Good covering play from Robinho to win the ball back for his team as Hull threatened to break up the park.
- 68'
Lovely diagnoal pass from Ireland to play in Garrido who plays it in towards Vassell. Hull manage to somehow scramble his effort away and it is anybody's guess who is going to grab the next goal here. Surely there is going to be another in such an open match.
- 64'
Turner puts the ball behind for a corner and when that is played in Robinho?s shot is blocked and cleared by Hull.
