Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Pittodrie Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Aberdeen FC and St. Johnstone FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 252 games and scored 248 goals.
  • 10' The travelling St. Johnstone FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-5-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 25' Scotland international Nicky Devlin has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' Angus MacDonald has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Phillips made 358 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Andy Considine on 45.
  • 50' It is a cagey affair so far. Aberdeen FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past St. Johnstone FC's compact 3-5-2.
  • 55' The energy levels are beginning to show. might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 60' Aberdeen FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 63' Cameron MacPherson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Drey Wright on 63 minute.
  • 68' Magnificent from Bojan Miovski! That is 41 goals in 351 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 73' The home supporters are growing impatient. Aberdeen FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 74' Another substitution for Aberdeen FC to replace Connor Barron by Graeme Shinnie on 74 minute.
  • 75' The whistle greets Benjamin Mbunga-Kimpioka as he departs to be replaced by Adama Sidibeh.
  • 77' St. Johnstone FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 79' The Aberdeen FC bench stirs into life. Dante Polvara is withdrawn and Duk gets his opportunity.
  • 83' The referee shows Aberdeen FC player a card on 83.
  • 88' 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.
  • 90' Killian Phillips is ready to make an impact after coming on for Leighton Clarkson at the 90 minute mark.
  • The final score is 1-0.
