Events
Match Events

- 10' Ryan Astley has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 7 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Strain made 235 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Dundee FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 25' 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 Seb Palmer-Houlden suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' It is a cagey affair so far. Dundee FC in their 3-4-1-2 trying to find a way past Dundee United FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 32' Controversy at the stadium! Ross Docherty argues furiously but the card stands.
- 37' Dundee United FC is showing some good football. However, Dundee United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 46' A tactical swap from Dundee United FC — Ross Graham on, Kristijan Trapanovski off on 46 minutes.

- 61' The Scotland Simon Murray breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 1-0!

- 75' Dundee FC currently sit 8 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
