Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Tony Macaroni Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 3 times this season with Aberdeen FC winning 66.67% of all matches.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Aberdeen FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kevin Nisbet made 297 appearances and scored 48 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' It looks surprising Livingston FC does not make any changes. Liam Morrison has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 24' What a strike from Mitchel Frame! The score is 0-1.
- 29' Aberdeen FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 3 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aberdeen FC that had 350 games and scored 357 goals.
- 39' 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.
- 44' Livingston FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
- 47' Goal! Joel Nouble scores his 10 goal in 251 matches.
- 52' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 57' It looks like no one’s ball. Livingston FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 62' Livingston 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.
- 67' It’s high time Marvin Bartley made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Babacar Fati on 70.
- 71' What a strike from Kevin Nisbet! The score is 1-2.
- 76' 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 Gavin Molloy suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' What a strike from Robbie Muirhead! The score is 2-2.
- 81' The referee calls foul for Danny Finlayson. He receives a card.
- 86' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 86 minutes.
- 90' Macaulay Tait was booked on 90.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
