Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. St. Johnstone FC is hosting Livingston FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' It looks surprising Livingston FC does not make any changes. Daniel MacKay has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' St. Johnstone FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 251 games and scored 244 goals.
  • 25' Livingston 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.
  • 30' The referee calls foul for Luke Robinson. He receives a card.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 37' What a strike from Andrew Shinnie! The score is 0-1.
  • 40' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sven Sprangler on 40.
  • 45' Graham Carey has so much to prove this time. He replaces Diallang Jaiyesimi on 45 minute.
  • 50' Livingston FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kurtis Guthrie is hanging Michael Devlin on the field on 50 minute.
  • 55' St. Johnstone FC is showing some good football. However, St. Johnstone FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' Andy Considine is replacing Liam Gordon for the St. Johnstone FC side.
  • 61' 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.
  • 66' The travelling Livingston FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' The referee calls foul for Cristian Montano. He receives a card.
  • 73' 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 Dimitar Mitov suffering a number of foals already.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for Adama Sidibeh. He replaces Matthew Smith on 77 minute.
  • 81' The whistle greets Daniel MacKay as he departs to be replaced by Joel Nouble.
