- 0' The game is set. Hamilton Academical FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' George Stanger needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 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' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. David Moyo made 16 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Youssouf Mulumbu, as he is very good at scoring at BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 36' Kilmarnock FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Greg Kiltie on 36.
- 41' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Hamilton Academical FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 46' The whistle greets David Moyo as he departs to be replaced by Callum Smith.
- 51' 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 Ben Stirling suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Hamilton Academical FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 56.
- 61' Kilmarnock FC is showing some good football. However, Kilmarnock FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
