Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Aberdeen FC and St. Johnstone FC get this one started.
- 5' Connor Smith has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Aberdeen FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 25' Stefan Gartenmann has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jonny Hayes made 429 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 264 games and scored 261 goals.
- 40' It’s high time Neil Warnock made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 44' Against the run of play, Nicky Clark has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Jack MacKenzie. He replaces Richard Jensen on 46 minute.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 56' 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.
- 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sven Sprangler on 60.
- 61' Time for substitution for Aberdeen FC. Jonny Hayes is replaced by Duk.
- 66' 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 Tony Gallacher suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 71 minutes.
