  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Polworth made 1 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Luke Amos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Hibernian FC tonight.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kilmarnock FC and Hibernian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 17' Joe Wright picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 22' Kilmarnock FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
  • 25' Brilliant from the ! Dylan Vente makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 25.
  • 30' Kanayo Megwa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' It is a cagey affair so far. Kilmarnock FC in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Hibernian FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 62' 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 Harry McKirdy suffering a number of foals already.
