  • 10' Aberdeen FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' Livingston 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.
  • 20' Ryan Hedges has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Aberdeen FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 42' Craig Sibbald is having his name booked by the referee on 42.
  • 43' The referee has no hesitation. Nicky Devlin is booked for Livingston FC — Yellow card on 43.
  • 46' A change in the Aberdeen FC ranks — Scott McKenna exits the field as Funso-King Ojo enters on 46.
  • 49' Lewis Ferguson is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
  • 54' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 55' Magnificent from Scott Wright! That is 16 goals in 350 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 60' Scott Tiffoney has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 251 appearances.
  • 61' It is a substitution in Aberdeen FC team. Scott Wright is replaced by Dylan McGeouch on 61 minute.
  • 66' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Livingston FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 69' Assisted by Jack Fitzwater with the perfectly-timed delivery and Scott Pittman makes no mistake. 2-1!

  • 81' Fresh legs for Aberdeen FC! Curtis Main comes on to replace Ryan Hedges.
  • 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' The Aberdeen FC manager makes a substitution. Matt Kennedy departs to be replaced by Tommie Hoban.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
