Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Hibernian FC host St. Johnstone FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Alistair McCann, a Northern Ireland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Hibernian FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. St. Johnstone FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Adam Jackson makes it 1-0.
- 30' Scotland international Danny Swanson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 35' Scott Allan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' Hibernian FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 45' St. Johnstone FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 49' That is a Yellow card for Hibernian FC. Ofir Marciano will be fuming at that decision.
- 54' St. Johnstone FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 56' The Hibernian FC manager makes a substitution. David Gray departs to be replaced by Steven Whittaker.
- 61' The Hibernian FC bench stirs into life. Christian Doidge is withdrawn and Vykintas Slivka gets his opportunity.
- 66' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tommy Wright will be considering his options from the bench.
- 68' Michael O'Halloran does the damage! The net is bulging and St. Johnstone FC surge ahead!
- 69' Assisted by Glenn Middleton with the perfectly-timed delivery and Florian Kamberi makes no mistake. 2-1!
- 74' Callum Hendry gets the nod from St. Johnstone FC. He replaces Liam Craig and will look to change the dynamic.
- 79' Danny Swanson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Chris Kane at the 79 minute mark.
- 84' 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 Stephen Mallan suffering a number of foals already.
- 89' The travelling St. Johnstone FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
