Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Aberdeen FC to score. At the same time, Rangers FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Aberdeen FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 13' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Shaleum Logan.
  • 18' The deadlock is broken! Scott Arfield gets on the scoresheet on 18 minutes.
  • 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aberdeen FC that had 355 games and scored 359 goals.
  • 28' 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 Sam Cosgrove suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Ryan Jack adds to his 0 season tally! Rangers FC lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 33' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sam Cosgrove on 33.
  • 38' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 39' GOAL! Jon Gallagher fires home to make it 1-2!
  • 44' Sheyi Ojo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 48' Andrew Considine does the damage! The net is bulging and Aberdeen FC surge ahead!
  • 53' Supporters expect more eagerness from Zak Vyner, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 58' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 58 minutes.
  • 63' Rangers FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 66' Scott Arfield is having his name booked by the referee on 66.
  • 71' The 29-year-old Nikola Katic has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 74' The Aberdeen FC manager makes a substitution. James Wilson departs to be replaced by Ryan Hedges.
  • 77' The whistle greets Scott Arfield as he departs to be replaced by Sheyi Ojo.
  • 81' Another substitution for Aberdeen FC to replace Andrew Considine by Connor McLennan on 81 minute.
  • 83' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Connor Goldson on 83 minutes.
  • 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jon Flanagan made 407 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' Rangers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nikola Katic is hanging Ryan Kent on the field on 90 minute.
  • It finishes all square. Aberdeen FC and Rangers FC share the spoils 2-2.
