- 0' The game is set. Aberdeen FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Kilmarnock FC winning 0% of all matches.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' Kilmarnock FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 25' Kilmarnock FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

- 35' Kilmarnock FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.

- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Graeme Shinnie on 45 minutes.
- 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
- 55' 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 Danny Armstrong suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Rory McKenzie is ready to make an impact after coming on for Brad Lyons at the 60 minute mark.

- 82' Kilmarnock FC make a change. Marley Watkins trudges off to be replaced by Matty Kennedy on 82 minutes.
