Events

Match Events

  • 25' Sweden international Melker Hallberg has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Cameron MacPherson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 43' Against the run of play, Liam Gordon has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 48' 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.

  • 58' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 61' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Charlie Mulgrew.

  • 90' The referee shows St. Johnstone FC player a Yellow card on 90.
