Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds McDiarmid Park will turn into a battlefield for St. Johnstone FC and Dundee FC.
- 5' The 34-year-old Stevie May has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' Trevor Carson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and Dundee FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Dara Costelloe is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Dundee FC tonight.
- 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Tony Docherty might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 35' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Scott Tiffoney makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' 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 Andy Considine suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with St. Johnstone FC winning 50% of all matches.
- 55' St. Johnstone FC make a change. Dara Costelloe trudges off to be replaced by Maksym Kucheriavyi on 55 minutes.
- 58' GOAL! Ricki Lamie scores on 58.
- 62' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tony Docherty on 62.
- 67' It looks like no one’s ball. Dundee FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 69' The St. Johnstone FC bench stirs into life. Jay Turner-Cooke is withdrawn and Luke Jephcott gets his opportunity.
- 73' Cameron MacPherson was booked on 73.
- 78' The crowd applauds Malachi Boateng as he leaves the pitch. Mo Sylla steps in for Dundee FC.
- 82' Magnificent from Maksym Kucheriavyi! That is 2 goals in 264 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 84' Another change for Dundee FC made on 84 minute. Amadou Bakayoko leaves to be changed by Charlie Reilly.
- 87' Controversy at the stadium! Sam McClelland argues furiously but the card stands.
- 90' That is a card for St. Johnstone FC. Graham Carey will be fuming at that decision.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — St. Johnstone FC 2-2 Dundee FC.
