Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Aberdeen FC is hosting Kilmarnock FC for another epic battle.
  • 1' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Duk makes it 1-0.
  • 6' Aberdeen FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Kilmarnock FC backline.
  • 11' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 16' It looks like no one’s ball. Kilmarnock FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 21' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Derek McInnes will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 26' 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 Joe Wright suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' Kelle Roos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 36' The travelling Kilmarnock FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 41' Liam Scales is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Aberdeen FC so far.
  • 42' Poor challenge from David Watson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 43' That is a Yellow card for Kilmarnock FC. David Watson will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' Brad Lyons makes way for Ryan Alebiosu at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kilmarnock FC.

  • 64' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.

  • 76' Aberdeen FC ring the changes. Duk has done his job and it is now time for Alfie Bavidge to step up.
  • 78' Jonathan Hayes has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 78.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Kilmarnock FC. Danny Armstrong is replaced by Fraser Murray.
  • 86' Ross McCrorie is a natural right-back and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kilmarnock FC tonight.
