  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Aberdeen FC and Ross County FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Aberdeen FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 41' 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.
  • 46' 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 Ross Laidlaw suffering a number of foals already.
  • 51' Ross County 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.

  • 79' The 35-year-old Funso-King Ojo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
