Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Dundee United FC welcome Livingston FC for this crunch clash at Tannadice Park.
- 5' 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 Julien Serrano suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Livingston FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' Efe Ambrose has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 18' Nicky Clark has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 18 minutes.
- 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jason Holt, as he is very good at scoring at Tannadice Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Dundee United FC that had 194 games and scored 193 goals.
- 33' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Dundee United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 38' Scott Tiffoney, a Scotland forward, has 5 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 43' A quiet spell here at Tannadice Park. Dundee United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 48' Dundee United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Livingston FC's shape.
- 53' The deadlock is broken! Jon Guthrie gets on the scoresheet on 53 minutes.
- 58' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 63' Calum Butcher has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 122 appearances.
- 68' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gary Holt will be considering his options from the bench.
- 73' Logan Chalmers is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Dundee United FC tonight.
- 75' Peter Pawlett has so much to prove this time. He replaces Logan Chalmers on 75 minute.
- 76' A change in the Livingston FC ranks — Scott Tiffoney exits the field as Matej Poplatnik enters on 76.
- 81' Ryan Edwards needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 21 Yellow cards this season.
- 86' Marvin Bartley has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' Alan Forrest does the damage! The net is bulging and Livingston FC surge ahead!
- 90' Alan Forrest makes way for Jack McMillan at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Livingston FC.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Livingston FC players.
