Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Easter Road Stadium that hosts another battle between Hibernian FC and St. Johnstone FC.
  • 5' Hibernian FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 8' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Martin Boyle.
  • 13' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tony Gallacher made 409 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 18' It’s high time Lee Johnson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 23' 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.

  • 31' Mykola Kukharevych is having his name booked by the referee on 31.
  • 35' Mykola Kukharevych has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 35 minutes.
  • 40' 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 Melker Hallberg suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for James Brown. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' It is a substitution in St. Johnstone FC team. Adam Montgomery is replaced by Stevie May on 46 minute.

  • 53' Poor challenge from Kyle Magennis. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 58' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 62' Thody Elie Youan gets the nod from Hibernian FC. He replaces Mykola Kukharevych and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Thody Elie Youan. He replaces Mykola Kukharevych on 63 minute.
  • 64' St. Johnstone FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. David Wotherspoon is hanging Drey Wright on the field on 64 minute.
  • 68' Josh Campbell is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
  • 70' Hibernian FC receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 70.
  • 73' The deadlock is broken! Nicky Clark gets on the scoresheet on 73 minutes.
  • 78' Over 78 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 82' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Stevie May makes it 1-2.
  • 84' Jair Tavares gets the nod from Hibernian FC. He replaces Christopher Cadden and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 89' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Harry McKirdy.
