Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. St. Mirren FC get us underway at Pittodrie Stadium.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Aberdeen FC and St. Mirren FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' The travelling St. Mirren FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Ross McCrorie is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Aberdeen FC so far.
  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 30' St. Mirren FC is showing some good football. However, St. Mirren FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' Dylan McGeouch, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 43' Conor McCarthy catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 43.
  • 48' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 53' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 54' Against the run of play, Ethan Erhahon has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 59' Over 59 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 63' Aberdeen FC make a change. Niall McGinn trudges off to be replaced by Connor McLennan on 63 minutes.
  • 68' The energy levels are beginning to show. Derek McInnes might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 71' Magnificent from Marley Watkins! That is 22 goals in 392 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Edmondson made 361 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 86' Aberdeen FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 86.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Bruce Anderson. He replaces Ash Taylor on 87 minute.
  • 88' Ross McCrorie was booked on 88.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Dylan McGeouch. He replaces Ryan Hedges on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Aberdeen FC.
