Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Easter Road Stadium!
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kilmarnock FC that had 265 games and scored 275 goals.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Easter Road Stadium. Kilmarnock FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Hibernian FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' A stunning finish from Nectarios Triantis — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 30' Danny Armstrong, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 31' Joe Wright makes way for Robbie Deas at the 31 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kilmarnock FC.
  • 36' Bruce Anderson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 41' Kilmarnock FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 44' Liam Polworth was booked on 44.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Hibernian FC! Hyeok-kyu Kwon comes on to replace Joe Newell.
  • 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 53' Hyeok-kyu Kwon has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 53.
  • 58' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hibernian FC and Kilmarnock FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 59' The referee calls foul for Danny Armstrong. He receives a card.
  • 63' Danny Armstrong is having his name booked by the referee on 63.
  • 68' The Hibernian FC bench stirs into life. Jack Iredale is withdrawn and Jordan Obita gets his opportunity.
  • 71' A tactical swap from Kilmarnock FC — Kyle Magennis on, Liam Polworth off on 71 minutes.
  • 74' Dwight Gayle has so much to prove this time. He replaces Junior Hoilett on 74 minute.
  • 79' Hibernian FC have won 395 goals from 302 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 84' Hibernian FC is showing some good football. However, Hibernian FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 89' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Brad Lyons on 90 minutes.
  • 90' The whistle greets David Watson as he departs to be replaced by Jack Burroughs.
  • With this win, Hibernian FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
