Events

Match Events

  • 0' St. Mirren FC have kicked off against St. Johnstone FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 8' Assisted by Jack Sanders with the perfectly-timed delivery and Benjamin Mbunga-Kimpioka makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 18' St. Mirren FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 23' Elvis Bwomono has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 23.
  • 28' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Mirren FC and St. Johnstone FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' What an equalizer from Scott Tanser!
  • 31' Controversy at the stadium! Adama Sidibeh argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 36' Mark O'Hara is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for St. Johnstone FC so far.
  • 41' Drey Wright is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for St. Johnstone FC tonight.
  • 44' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ellery Balcombe on 44 minutes.
  • 45' Richard Taylor is replacing Charles Dunne for the St. Mirren FC side.
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both St. Mirren FC and St. Johnstone FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 57' GOAL! Mark O'Hara scores on 57. Assisted by Marcus Fraser
  • 62' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 67' It looks like no one’s ball. St. Johnstone FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 68' Fresh legs for St. Johnstone FC! Graham Carey comes on to replace Kyle Cameron.
  • 73' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' 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 Marcus Fraser suffering a number of foals already.
  • 83' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 85' Another change for St. Mirren FC made on 85 minute. Greg Kiltie leaves to be changed by Jonah Ayunga.
  • 90' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
