Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. St. Mirren FC is hosting Kilmarnock FC for another epic battle.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 9' St. Mirren FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Liam Donnelly on 9.
- 14' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tom Lowery, as he is very good at scoring at The SMISA Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' The referee shows St. Mirren FC player a card on 15.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. George Stanger made 106 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' St. Mirren 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.
- 26' St. Mirren FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 26.
- 31' 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 Robbie Deas suffering a number of foals already.
- 36' St. Mirren FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 36.
- 41' Kilmarnock FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 3 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 46' What an equalizer from Findlay Curtis!
- 51' Jacob Devaney has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 52' That looks like a foul for a card for Joe Hugill.
- 54' It’s a booking for St. Mirren FC player. Killian Phillips gets a card.
- 59' Conor McMenamin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 6 Yellow cards this season.
- 64' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 68' Findlay Curtis puts Kilmarnock FC on the lead.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Mirren FC that had 289 games and scored 281 goals.
- 78' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 83' 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.
- 88' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 3 times this season with Kilmarnock FC winning 66.67% of all matches.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Kilmarnock FC players.
