Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to McDiarmid Park that hosts another battle between St. Johnstone FC and Hibernian FC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andrew Considine is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Johnstone FC.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joe Newell, as he is very good at scoring at McDiarmid Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and Hibernian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Elias Hoff Melkersen on 29.
  • 34' 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 Remi Matthews suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 49' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both St. Johnstone FC and Hibernian FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 54' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' St. Johnstone FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
  • 58' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Murray Davidson.
  • 61' St. Johnstone FC make a change. Thelonius Bair trudges off to be replaced by Stevie May on 61 minutes.
  • 66' The home supporters are growing impatient. St. Johnstone FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 69' Christian Doidge has so much to prove this time. He replaces Elias Hoff Melkersen on 69 minute.
  • 71' Poor challenge from Ewan Henderson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 76' St. Johnstone FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Hibernian FC's shape.
  • 77' Christopher Cadden makes way for Josh Campbell at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Hibernian FC.
  • 78' The whistle greets Christopher Cadden as he departs to be replaced by Josh Campbell.
  • 81' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Marijan Cabraja.
  • 85' James Brown gets the nod from St. Johnstone FC. He replaces Melker Hallberg and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 89' Jake Doyle-Hayes is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nohan Kenneh at the 89 minute mark.
  • 89' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Cameron MacPherson.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Hibernian FC. Rocky Bushiri will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' The deadlock is broken! Josh Campbell gets on the scoresheet on 90 minutes.
