Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Pittodrie Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Aberdeen FC and Kilmarnock FC.
  • 1' Duk adds to his 0 season tally! Aberdeen FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 6' Kilmarnock FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 11' Aberdeen FC have won 359 goals from 351 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 16' The home supporters are growing impatient. Aberdeen FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 21' Aberdeen FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 26' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 31' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Aberdeen FC and Kilmarnock FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 36' Sam Walker has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 41' It looks surprising Kilmarnock FC does not make any changes. Leighton Clarkson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' Controversy at the stadium! David Watson argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 43' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for David Watson on 43 minutes.
  • 46' Ryan Alebiosu gets the nod from Kilmarnock FC. He replaces Brad Lyons and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' Fraser Murray has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Donnelly made 294 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' Goal! Duk scores his 19 goal in 351 matches.
  • 64' 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 Lewis Mayo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' Both keepers have barely been tested. Aberdeen FC and Kilmarnock FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 72' Bojan Miovski makes way for Marley Watkins at the 72 minute mark. A tactical switch from Aberdeen FC.
  • 76' Aberdeen FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alfie Bavidge is hanging Duk on the field on 76 minute.
  • 78' Jonathan Hayes catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 78.
  • 81' The whistle greets Danny Armstrong as he departs to be replaced by Fraser Murray.
  • 86' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 89' The Kilmarnock FC bench stirs into life. Christian Doidge is withdrawn and Bobby Wales gets his opportunity.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
