- 47' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 52' Scotland international Stephen Mallan has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 57' Ryan Hedges is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Hibernian FC tonight.
- 61' Hibernian FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Stephen Mallan is hanging Joe Newell on the field on 61 minute.
- 62' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Josh Doig.

- 84' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Porteous made 301 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 85' Aberdeen FC make a change. Connor McLennan trudges off to be replaced by Shaleum Logan on 85 minutes.
- 90' 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 Tommie Hoban suffering a number of foals already.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Aberdeen FC and Hibernian FC (для сухой ничьи).
