Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at McDiarmid Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His St. Johnstone FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 10' Liam Gordon, a Scotland , has 25 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' 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 Sven Sprangler suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' The travelling Aberdeen FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and Aberdeen FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 50' Ireland international Jamie McGrath has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 55' A quiet spell here at McDiarmid Park. Aberdeen FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 60' Aberdeen 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.
  • 61' Poor challenge from Matthew Smith. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 62' GOAL! Bojan Miovski scores on 62.
  • 62' The Aberdeen FC manager makes a substitution. Dante Polvara departs to be replaced by Ester Sokler.
  • 63' Jonny Hayes gets the nod from Aberdeen FC. He replaces Connor Barron and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 68' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

  • 84' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Slobodan Rubezic.
  • 85' Benjamin Mbunga-Kimpioka has so much to prove this time. He replaces Diallang Jaiyesimi on 85 minute.

  • 90' Angus MacDonald is ready to make an impact after coming on for Slobodan Rubezic at the 90 minute mark.
