Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Pittodrie Stadium. Aberdeen FC are looking to make home advantage count against St. Johnstone FC.
  • 5' Graham Carey, a Ireland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dimitar Mitov made 196 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' St. Johnstone FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' The travelling St. Johnstone FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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.
  • 30' St. Johnstone FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' St. Johnstone FC have won 252 goals from 256 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' It’s high time Steven MacLean made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 50' Aberdeen FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined St. Johnstone FC backline.
  • 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 56' A tactical swap from Aberdeen FC — Leighton Clarkson on, Jamie McGrath off on 56 minutes.
  • 61' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 65' Chris Kane is ready to make an impact after coming on for Luke Jephcott at the 65 minute mark.
  • 70' Cameron MacPherson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 73' The supporters are chanting for Cameron MacPherson. He replaces Maksym Kucheriavyi on 73 minute.
  • 76' It’s a booking for St. Johnstone FC player. Drey Wright gets a card.
  • 78' A tactical swap from St. Johnstone FC — Stevie May on, Drey Wright off on 78 minutes.
  • 80' Ester Sokler gets the nod from Aberdeen FC. He replaces Nicky Devlin and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 81' St. Johnstone FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 81.
  • 86' It is a cagey affair so far. Aberdeen FC in their 3-4-1-2 trying to find a way past St. Johnstone FC's compact 4-1-4-1.
  • It finishes all square. Aberdeen FC and St. Johnstone FC share the spoils 0-0.
