Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Kilmarnock FC gets underway.
- 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jim Goodwin might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Dave Richards needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' A goal from the Scotland international Robbie Deas! He fires home on 20 to make it 1-0!
- 25' Poland international Max Stryjek has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 28' The referee has no hesitation. Neil Farrugia is booked for Dundee United FC — card on 28.
- 33' The home supporters are growing impatient. Kilmarnock FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 38' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 48' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 51' Findlay Curtis adds to his 0 season tally! Kilmarnock FC lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 56' The 29-year-old Greg Kiltie has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 61' 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 Aaron Tshibola suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' Against the run of play, Joe Hugill has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 69' Krisztian Keresztes has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 79' Kilmarnock FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 84' Dundee United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Will Ferry scoring 1 goals.
- 89' Neil Farrugia has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 26 appearances.
- 3-0 the final result. Dundee United FC will be bitterly disappointed.
