Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at McDiarmid Park!
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and Dundee FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Dundee FC is showing some good football. However, Dundee FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' Scotland international Josh Mulligan has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' Ethan Ingram has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' It is a cagey affair so far. St. Johnstone FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Dundee FC's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 30' St. Johnstone 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.
  • 35' Dundee FC come into this ranked 9 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 40' Dundee FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sven Sprangler, as he is very good at scoring at McDiarmid Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 50' Andre Raymond, a Trinidad & Tobago , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 55' It looks surprising Dundee FC does not make any changes. Bozo Mikulic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Tony Docherty might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' 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 Curtis Main suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 75' Clark Robertson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 80' A quiet spell here at McDiarmid Park. St. Johnstone FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 85' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 90' The home supporters are growing impatient. St. Johnstone FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • Another three points for Dundee FC.
