Events
Match Events

- 8' It looks like no one’s ball. Falkirk FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 13' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 18' 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 Filip Lissah suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' GOAL! Josh Campbell scores on 20. Assisted by Martin Boyle
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dylan Tait made 297 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Daniel Barlaser, as he is very good at scoring at Falkirk Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 61' It’s a booking for Hibernian FC player. Josh Campbell gets a card.
- 66' 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.
