Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at McDiarmid Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between St. Johnstone FC and Livingston FC.
  • 5' Liam Gordon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and Livingston FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jason Holt, as he is very good at scoring at McDiarmid Park with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 25' Mo Sangare needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' Luke Robinson was booked on 30.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 37' Against the run of play, Andrew Shinnie has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 40' Sven Sprangler has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 40.
  • 45' The St. Johnstone FC manager makes a substitution. Diallang Jaiyesimi departs to be replaced by Graham Carey.
  • 50' The crowd applauds Michael Devlin as he leaves the pitch. Kurtis Guthrie steps in for Livingston FC.
  • 55' Matthew Smith has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 56' Time for substitution for St. Johnstone FC. Liam Gordon is replaced by Andy Considine.
  • 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 68' Controversy at the stadium! Cristian Montano argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 73' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 77' The St. Johnstone FC bench stirs into life. Matthew Smith is withdrawn and Adama Sidibeh gets his opportunity.
  • 81' Joel Nouble gets the nod from Livingston FC. He replaces Daniel MacKay and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 85' Another change for Livingston FC made on 85 minute. Cristian Montano leaves to be changed by Jamie Brandon.
  • 87' Brilliant from the ! Nicky Clark makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 87.
