Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Easter Road Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 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 Miguel Chaiwa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 7' The deadlock is broken! Martin Boyle gets on the scoresheet on 7 minutes.
  • 12' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Hibernian FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 14' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Raphael Sallinger on 14 minutes.
  • 15' Hibernian FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan Smith is hanging Nicky Cadden on the field on 15 minute.
  • 20' Heart of Midlothian FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Hibernian FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Heart of Midlothian FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 35' Pierre Kabore has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' Heart of Midlothian FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 45' Hibernian FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Sabah Kerjota. He replaces Jordi Altena on 46 minute.
  • 48' That is a card for Hibernian FC. Felix Passlack will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' Hibernian FC make a change. Owen Elding trudges off to be replaced by Kanayo Megwa on 50 minutes.
  • 55' It looks like no one’s ball. Hibernian FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 75' The 26-year-old Alexandros Kyziridis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 80' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hibernian FC and Heart of Midlothian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 85' Heart of Midlothian FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 86' A goal from the Scotland international Blair Spittal! He fires home on 86 to make it 2-1!
