City make a strong start to the second period.

Whelan nearly grabs her second of the afternoon but her right-footed shot from the centre of the box is expertly tipped round the post by Schumacher.

Spartans make one change at the break. Olivia Chomczuk is replaced by Rebecca Foote.

The youngster is forced off through injury.

We are also back under way at Ainslie Park.

The second half has begun at Petershill Park.

Hibs have looked extremely vulnerable when in possession inside their own defensive third.

They are playing short from goal kicks, very short. Schumacher is giving the ball to her central defenders inside the six-yard box and that is City's trigger to press, every time.

Leanne Ross's team are then going player-for-player all across the pitch and Hibs are really struggling to break the press.

Interesting second half to come.

Olivia Chomczuk celebrated her 17th birthday just 10 days ago which is really hard to believe when you watch her play.

The Hearts-loanee has been everywhere in midfield this afternoon. One to keep an eye on, for sure.

It's been a fairly even first half on the balance of play but Spartans have simply been more ruthless in front of goal.

Strikes from Olivia Chomczuk and Erin Rennie give them a two-goal cushion going into the break.

Emily Whelan's goal inside the first minute separates the two sides at the interval.

Abbie Ferguson goes into the book for Hibs.

No complaints there. Poor challenge.

Aberdeen are forced into an early change.

Emily Kraft replaces Madison Finnie due to injury.

City have the ball in the net but it doesn't count.

Hibs seriously get away with one there; nearly another defensive disaster.

Maataa charges down Siobhan Hunter inside her own six-yard box, who gives up possession and Kozlova knocks it into the net.

However, the linesman has his flag up on the far side as Kozlova is adjudged to have been in an offside position when the ball ricocheted off Maataa.

Huge let off for Hibs.

Tegan Bowie looks a threat for Hibs on the left-hand side.

The winger does well to work some space for a shot but Lee Gibson is equal to her powerful effort.

They must look to work the ball wide for Bowie as she is causing Lisa Evans a few problems on that flank.

City win a free-kick in a dangerous area but Whelan's resulting effort is straight at Schumacher.

Another chance for City!

A great long ball picks out Kozlova who looks to lob Schumacher, but her attempt lands just wide of the goal.

Hibs have been the better of the two sides in the last ten minutes but City still look more dangerous in the final third.

Mairead Fulton's attempt from the edge of the area is just over the crossbar. Not sure Noa Schumacher had that one covered...

Spartans searching for a second here.

Cacee McKenna, Sarah Clelland and Erin Rennie have all come close in the last few minutes.

Not to worry City fans. Whelan is okay to continue.

This could be a problem...

Emily Whelan has been down a while and is receiving treatment from the City medical staff.

Hibs almost gifting City another goal there!

A poor touch from Michaela McAlonie sets the ball into the path of Nicole Kozlova on the edge of the area.

Kozlova goes for the curling effort but it's just wide.
