Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Tynecastle Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Heart of Midlothian FC and Livingston FC.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Livingston FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' Chris Erskine has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' 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 Christophe Berra suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Declan Gallagher on 37.

- 70' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 71' Livingston FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Keaghan Jacobs is hanging Hakeem Odoffin on the field on 71 minute.
- 75' Callum Morrison gets the nod from Heart of Midlothian FC. He replaces Conor Shaughnessy and will look to change the dynamic.
