  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Aberdeen FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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 Stefan Gartenmann suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' It looks surprising Heart of Midlothian FC does not make any changes. Bojan Miovski has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' Stephen Kingsley has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Aberdeen FC winning 100% of all matches.

  • 56' Aberdeen FC have won 359 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 57' GOAL! Jorge Grant scores on 57.

  • 65' Another substitution for Aberdeen FC to replace Dante Polvara by Duk on 65 minute.
  • 68' Yutaro Oda has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 68.
