Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Global Energy Stadium!
- 5' GOAL! Simon Murray fires home to make it 1-0!
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Ross County FC and Aberdeen FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 15' The 25-year-old Leighton Clarkson has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 28' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jack Baldwin on 28.
- 29' It’s gonna be a card for Simon Murray.
- 32' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Ester Sokler makes it 1-1.
- 37' 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 Junior Hoilett suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Angus MacDonald made 390 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 47' Richard Jensen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 50' GOAL! Jamie McGrath scores on 50. Assisted by Junior Hoilett
- 55' Ross County FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 68' A stunning finish from Yan Dhanda — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 73' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 77' James Brown was booked on 77.
- 78' A change in the Aberdeen FC ranks — Junior Hoilett exits the field as Richard Jensen enters on 78.
- 80' James Brown makes way for Josh Sims at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Ross County FC.
- 85' That is a card for Ross County FC. Jordan White will be fuming at that decision.
- 87' Eamonn Brophy is replacing George Harmon for the Ross County FC side.
