Events

Match Events

  • 33' Aziz Behich is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Dundee United FC so far.

  • 69' A tactical swap from Dundee United FC — Arnaud Djoum on, Craig Sibbald off on 69 minutes.
  • 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. St. Johnstone FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 78' The whistle greets Glenn Middleton as he departs to be replaced by Rory MacLeod.
  • 81' A goal from the Scotland international Tony Watt! He fires home on 81 to make it 0-1!
  • 82' Another change for St. Johnstone FC made on 82 minute. Alex Mitchell leaves to be changed by Thelonius Bair.
  • 85' A change in the St. Johnstone FC ranks — Daniel Phillips exits the field as Michael O'Halloran enters on 85.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for David Wotherspoon on 90 minutes.
