Events

Match Events

  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 6' Alistair McCann is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
  • 11' With 1 assists to his name this season, Jamie McCart is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Johnstone FC.
  • 16' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' Fresh legs for Aberdeen FC! Michael Devlin comes on to replace Ash Taylor.
  • 25' St. Johnstone 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.
  • 27' Time for substitution for St. Johnstone FC. Michael O'Halloran is replaced by Drey Wright.
  • 32' A quiet spell here at Pittodrie Stadium. St. Johnstone FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 256 games and scored 252 goals.
  • 42' Dylan McGeouch has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' Another substitution for Aberdeen FC to replace Jon Gallagher by Niall McGinn on 46 minute.
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 56' 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 Joe Lewis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Ralston.
  • 61' Chris Kane is ready to make an impact after coming on for Stevie May at the 61 minute mark.
  • 62' The referee calls foul for Dylan McGeouch. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 66' Bruce Anderson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ronald Hernandez on 66 minute.
  • 71' Drey Wright has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 256 appearances.
  • 76' Alistair McCann picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 81' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Aberdeen FC and St. Johnstone FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 86' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 90' Lewis Ferguson has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for St. Johnstone FC players.
