Aberdeen 2-0 Hearts
Arnaud Djoum is sacrificed in midfield as Bjorn Johnsen joins Isma Goncalves up front for Hearts with Ian Cathro's first substitution. But is it too late?
Aberdeen 2-0 Hearts
Aberdeen are rampant and a fine piece of play by Niall McGinn gives Kenny McLean a sight of goal and the midfielder's rasping drive from 22 yards is tipped over the crossbar by goalkeeper Jack Hamilton.
Jonny Hayes
It's a Greek tragedy for Hearts as Alexandros Tziolis plays a hasty pass back to compatriot Anastasios Avlonitis and the central defender's attempt to divert it first time to goalkeeper Jack Hamilton is woefully short.
Jonny Hayes nips in, rounds Hamilton and passes into the empty net to extend Aberdeen's lead.

Quote MessageIt is a closer game in the second half. Hearts have come out with more grit and determination, but I would like to see them play a bit more football
Aberdeen 1-0 Hearts
Hearts have been starting to play a bit more, but it is Aberdeen who threaten next with a fine run and powerful drive from Kenny McLean that flies just over the crossbar from 20 yards.

It looks like Hearts, perhaps fearful of a much-criticised playing surface, have been told to play direct.
However, that tactic is not working and Aberdeen, who are still attempting to play a more passing game, are continuing to dominate.

Aberdeen 1-0 Hearts
So close to a second goal for Aberdeen as Graeme Shinnie shows great control and class to turn away from his marker before firing a powerful low drive that goalkeeper Jack Hamilton can only parry.
Adam Rooney fires in the rebound, but the striker was just offside as the midfielder unleashed his shot.
