Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Aberdeen FC and Hibernian FC get this one started.
  • 5' Graeme Shinnie has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 59 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. David Gray will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' Hibernian FC come into this ranked 9 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 25' 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 Ante Palaversa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 35' Aberdeen FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 55' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 60' Hibernian FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 65' It looks surprising Hibernian FC does not make any changes. Topi Keskinen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 70' Hibernian 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.
  • 75' The travelling Hibernian FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 80' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sivert Nilsen, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Aberdeen FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 90' Aberdeen FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Hibernian FC backline.
  • With this win, Hibernian FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
