Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Kilmarnock FC is hosting Aberdeen FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' 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 Matty Kennedy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Kilmarnock FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 35' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 40' Aberdeen FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Neil Warnock.
  • 50' Assisted by Danny Armstrong with the perfectly-timed delivery and Corrie Ndaba makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 55' Aberdeen FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 58' A goal from the Northern Ireland international Matty Kennedy! He fires home on 58 to make it 2-0!
  • 59' Fresh legs for Aberdeen FC! Junior Hoilett comes on to replace Duk.
  • 64' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kilmarnock FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 69' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 72' Kilmarnock FC make a change. Kyle Vassell trudges off to be replaced by David Watson on 72 minutes.
  • 77' It’s gonna be a card for Danny Armstrong.
  • 82' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 86' Greg Stewart gets the nod from Kilmarnock FC. He replaces Danny Armstrong and will look to change the dynamic.
