Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Hibernian FC and Hamilton Academical FC is underway.
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ofir Marciano made 298 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' 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 Lennard Sowah suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' GOAL! Florian Kamberi scores on 17. Assisted by Daryl Horgan
  • 22' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 27' Scotland international Lewis Smith has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 32' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hamilton Academical FC that had 106 games and scored 94 goals.
  • 37' The travelling Hamilton Academical FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 39' Marc McNulty makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Hibernian FC are in front.
  • 44' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 49' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 51' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Marc McNulty.
  • 56' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 57' The supporters are chanting for Steve Davies. He replaces David McMillan on 57 minute.
  • 62' George Oakley catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 62.
  • 63' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Darren McGregor.
  • 64' A tactical swap from Hamilton Academical FC — Reegan Mimnaugh on, Alexandros Gogic off on 64 minutes.
  • 67' Stephen Mallan was booked on 67.
  • 72' Daryl Horgan makes way for Stephane Omeonga at the 72 minute mark. A tactical switch from Hibernian FC.
  • 74' Lennard Sowah is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
  • 75' Lewis Smith gets the nod from Hamilton Academical FC. He replaces Tony Andreu and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' The supporters are chanting for Oliver Shaw. He replaces Marc McNulty on 79 minute.
  • 84' Hibernian FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Lewis Allan. He replaces Florian Kamberi on 85 minute.
  • 90' Hibernian FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
