Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Aberdeen FC gets underway.
- 5' Ryan Hedges has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 385 appearances.
- 10' Nicky Clark needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 6 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' Lewis Ferguson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 20' Aberdeen FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' It looks surprising Aberdeen FC does not make any changes. Ryan Edmondson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Dundee United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Dundee United FC that had 184 games and scored 178 goals.
- 40' Dillon Powers has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 45' Aberdeen FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 50' 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 Lawrence Shankland suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. Dundee United FC and Aberdeen FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 57' Dundee United FC make a change. Nicky Clark trudges off to be replaced by Marc McNulty on 57 minutes.
- 62' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andrew Considine is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Aberdeen FC.
- 63' The Aberdeen FC manager makes a substitution. Scott Wright departs to be replaced by Ryan Edmondson.
- 65' It’s a booking for Dundee United FC player. Calum Butcher gets a Yellow card.
- 70' Scotland international Connor McLennan has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 74' Another substitution for Aberdeen FC to replace Connor McLennan by Niall McGinn on 74 minute.
- 77' Ross McCrorie was booked on 77.
- 78' The crowd applauds Calum Butcher as he leaves the pitch. Dillon Powers steps in for Dundee United FC.
- 83' It looks like no one’s ball. Aberdeen FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 87' Jonny Hayes was booked on 87.
- will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
