Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Kilmarnock FC get us underway at Pittodrie Stadium.
  • 5' Aberdeen FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' Stevie May, a Scotland , has 10 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 25' Kilmarnock 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.
  • 29' That is a Yellow card for Aberdeen FC. Graeme Shinnie will be fuming at that decision.
  • 34' Daniel Bachmann has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chris Burke made 265 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' Kilmarnock FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Lewis Ferguson on 45 minutes.
  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' Gary Dicker is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Aberdeen FC tonight.
  • 57' Gary Dicker has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 57.
  • 60' Time for substitution for Kilmarnock FC. Eamonn Brophy is replaced by Kris Boyd.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kilmarnock FC that had 265 games and scored 275 goals.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Rory McKenzie. He replaces Chris Burke on 66 minute.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Niall McGinn. He replaces Stevie May on 68 minute.
  • 73' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Aaron Tshibola.
  • 75' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Scott Boyd.
  • 77' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Alan Power.
  • 78' Scott McKenna makes way for Tommie Hoban at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from Aberdeen FC.
  • 79' Another change for Kilmarnock FC made on 79 minute. Jordan Jones leaves to be changed by Mikael Ndjoli.
  • 82' Poor challenge from Kris Boyd. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
  • 87' James Wilson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gary Mackay-Steven on 87 minute.
  • The points are shared — Aberdeen FC 0-0 Kilmarnock FC. Honours even.
