Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Pittodrie Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Aberdeen FC and Hamilton Academical FC.
- 5' Hamilton Academical FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The travelling Hamilton Academical FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 14' Tommie Hoban has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 14 minutes.
- 19' Supporters expect more eagerness from Callum Smith, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 21' Assisted by Ryan Edmondson with the perfectly-timed delivery and Lewis Ferguson makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 24' GOAL! Ryan Edmondson fires home to make it 3-0!
- 29' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 31' What a strike from Ryan Edmondson! The score is 4-0.
- 32' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. David Moyo makes it 4-1.
- 33' The Aberdeen FC manager makes a substitution. Jonny Hayes departs to be replaced by Connor McLennan.
- 38' Aberdeen FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 43' Hamilton Academical FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 48' Ryan Hedges has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 385 appearances.
- 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aberdeen FC that had 351 games and scored 359 goals.

- 57' Funso-King Ojo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dylan McGeouch at the 57 minute mark.

- 73' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Scott Martin suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' The crowd applauds Ronan Hughes as he leaves the pitch. Callum Smith steps in for Hamilton Academical FC.
- 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
