Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Tannadice Park!
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' 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 Dave Richards suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' A goal from the Denmark international Jeppe Okkels! He fires home on 15 to make it 0-1!
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Dundee United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' Graeme Shinnie has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Alexander Jensen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aberdeen FC that had 354 games and scored 359 goals.
  • 54' Dundee United FC make a change. David Babunski trudges off to be replaced by Louis Moult on 54 minutes.
  • 56' A goal from the Scotland international Declan Gallagher! He fires home on 56 to make it 1-1!
  • 57' Pape Gueye catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 57.
  • 60' It’s gonna be a card for Will Ferry.
  • 63' Sam Dalby makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Dundee United FC are in front.
  • 63' Aberdeen FC make a change. Pape Gueye trudges off to be replaced by Topi Keskinen on 63 minutes.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Shayden Morris. He replaces Ante Palaversa on 67 minute.
  • 72' 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.
  • 77' Aberdeen FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 77.
  • 82' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 87' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jimmy Thelin will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 88' Glenn Middleton makes way for Allan Campbell at the 88 minute mark. A tactical switch from Dundee United FC.
