  • 5' Kevin Nisbet has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jeppe Okkels made 329 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jimmy Thelin will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aberdeen FC that had 362 games and scored 369 goals.
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' Heart of Midlothian FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Leighton Clarkson.
  • 40' James Wilson, a Scotland forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 45' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Aberdeen FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Aberdeen FC winning 100% of all matches.

  • 66' Aberdeen FC make a change. Leighton Clarkson trudges off to be replaced by Jamie McGrath on 66 minutes.
  • 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 74' The referee shows Aberdeen FC player a card on 74.
  • 79' Shayden Morris has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jeppe Okkels on 79 minute.
