Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: St. Mirren FC gets underway.
  • 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both St. Mirren FC and St. Johnstone FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 6' That looks like a foul for a card for Marcus Fraser.
  • 11' It is a cagey affair so far. St. Mirren FC in their trying to find a way past St. Johnstone FC's compact .
  • 16' 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.
  • 21' 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 Alexandros Gogic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 29' That is a card for St. Mirren FC. Ryan Carr will be fuming at that decision.
  • 34' Kai Fotheringham has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 39' Supporters expect more eagerness from Paul Nsio, as he is very good at scoring at The SMISA Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.

  • 49' 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.
  • 51' A change in the St. Mirren FC ranks — Marcus Fraser exits the field as Liam Donnelly enters on 51.
  • 56' A quiet spell here at The SMISA Stadium. St. Johnstone FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 61' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 63' It’s a booking for St. Johnstone FC player. Jamie Gullan gets a card.
  • 64' The St. Mirren FC manager makes a substitution. Eseosa Sule departs to be replaced by Jake Young.
  • 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sam Stanton made 189 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 73' Against the run of play, Killian Phillips has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 76' A change in the St. Mirren FC ranks — Samu Ramos exits the field as Roland Idowu enters on 76.
