Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Livingston FC gets underway.
  • 5' Keaghan Jacobs has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 251 appearances.
  • 10' Hibernian FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Livingston FC backline.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Hibernian FC and Livingston FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 35' Hibernian FC have won 388 goals from 297 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' Hibernian FC make a change. Jamie Murphy trudges off to be replaced by Scott Allan on 45 minutes.
  • 49' The crowd applauds Jack Fitzwater as he leaves the pitch. Sean Kelly steps in for Livingston FC.
  • 51' The deadlock is broken! Kevin Nisbet gets on the scoresheet on 51 minutes.
  • 56' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 59' The Livingston FC manager makes a substitution. Craig Sibbald departs to be replaced by Keaghan Jacobs.
  • 60' Fresh legs for Livingston FC! Keaghan Jacobs comes on to replace Craig Sibbald.
  • 65' 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 Andrew Shinnie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' Time for substitution for Hibernian FC. Kevin Nisbet is replaced by Drey Wright.
  • 74' A moment of madness from Andrew Shinnie on 74 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Livingston FC will be frustrated.
  • 75' Andrew Shinnie is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
  • 80' It looks like no one’s ball. Hibernian FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 85' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 89' A stunning finish from Martin Boyle — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 90' It is a substitution in Hibernian FC team. James Scott is replaced by Daniel MacKay on 90 minute.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
