Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Aberdeen FC vs Hibernian FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Aberdeen FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Hibernian FC backline.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Pittodrie Stadium. Hibernian FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' It’s high time Jimmy Thelin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' Hibernian FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 30' It is a cagey affair so far. Aberdeen FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Hibernian FC's compact 3-5-2.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' Josh Campbell has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 43' It’s a booking for Aberdeen FC player. Ante Palaversa gets a card.
  • 48' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

  • 57' The crowd applauds Pape Gueye as he leaves the pitch. Jamie McGrath steps in for Aberdeen FC.
  • 61' The Hibernian FC bench stirs into life. Kieron Bowie is withdrawn and Dwight Gayle gets his opportunity.
  • 63' It’s gonna be a card for Topi Keskinen.
  • 68' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 70' The Hibernian FC bench stirs into life. Dylan Levitt is withdrawn and Nicky Cadden gets his opportunity.
  • 74' Aberdeen FC ring the changes. Topi Keskinen has done his job and it is now time for Oday Dabbagh to step up.
  • 79' Both keepers have barely been tested. Aberdeen FC and Hibernian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 80' Kevin Nisbet doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 83' Jack Iredale has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 83.
