- 28' Lyall Cameron does the damage! The net is bulging and Dundee FC surge ahead!
- 33' 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 Taylor Steven suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' It looks like no one’s ball. St. Johnstone FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
