Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — St. Johnstone FC and St. Mirren FC get this one started.
  • 5' It is a cagey affair so far. St. Johnstone FC in their 3-4-1-2 trying to find a way past St. Mirren FC's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 10' St. Johnstone FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sven Sprangler is hanging Maksym Kucheriavyi on the field on 10 minute.
  • 15' Trinidad & Tobago international Daniel Phillips has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' St. Mirren FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Robinson might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 255 games and scored 250 goals.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' St. Johnstone FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' The supporters are chanting for Conor McMenamin. He replaces Ryan Flynn on 45 minute.
  • 46' Another change for St. Mirren FC made on 46 minute. Scott Tanser leaves to be changed by James Bolton.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 56' 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 Keanu Baccus suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 62' The crowd applauds Diallang Jaiyesimi as he leaves the pitch. Chris Kane steps in for St. Johnstone FC.
  • 67' Alexandros Gogic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
  • 72' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with St. Mirren FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 76' Another change for St. Mirren FC made on 76 minute. Greg Kiltie leaves to be changed by Keanu Baccus.
  • 81' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Craig Levein will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 83' That looks like a foul for a card for Toyosi Olusanya.
  • 88' Liam Gordon is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for St. Mirren FC so far.
  • 89' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sven Sprangler.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Diallang Jaiyesimi. He receives a card.
