Good finish, Mac Iver couldn't really miss. Ivan Dolcek It's been coming. A wee bit of head tennis on the edge of the Aberdeen box eventually drops to Ivan Dolcek, who smashes a delightful first-time strike into the far bottom corner. A great finish on his weaker foot, the right. Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen Cries for a penalty from the home fans behind the goal as Vicko Sevelj is dragged to ground from a corner. Nothing doing says referee Steven Mc Lean. Ross Mac Iver Falkirk are back in it! Ethan Williams sends a great ball across the face of goal where Ross Mac Iver comes charging in at the back post to tap the ball home. Falkirk 0-2 Hibernian Ian Mc Call Former Falkirk manager on BBC Sportsound It was a really nice cross from Boyle. Mc Grath sold about three players the dummy there. I'm not saying there's a gulf in the two teams because Falkirk have played well but you feel Hibs are that step above. Jamie Mc Grath That's a wonderful finish from Jamie Mc Grath! Kieron Bowie's initial shot is blocked by Keelan Adams inside his own box and the ball falls to Mc Grath who spins beyond the Falkirk defenders and sends his strike into the bottom corner. Falkirk 0-1 Hibernian Kieron Bowie is in the book for a clumsy challenge on Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain. The forward has too much momentum and steps on the toes of Bain just on the edge of the goalkeeper's own box. Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen United should be in front. Zac Sapsford plays Ivan Dolcek clean through, but the Croatian winger shoots straight at goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov. Sapsford is then booked for a challenge in the build-up, which I don't quite understand. .. Falkirk 0-1 Hibernian I'm a Hibs fan but must say that penalty was harsh. Don't understand the handball rule these days. Tam Falkirk 0-1 Hibernian Ian Mc Call Former Falkirk manager on BBC Sportsound A goal was coming, it was inevitable but I didn't think it would come like that. Hibs didn't start the game well but they had two brilliant chances before the penalty. You can't say they don't deserve the lead. They're starting to be dominant in the centre of the pitch and have threats in the forward areas. Martin Boyle put Hibs in front in the 30th minute Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen Aberdeen winger Nicolas Milanovic plays his side into trouble with a dreadful square ball, but his defenders just about bail him out. Down the other end, Aberdeen test United goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko for the first time as Jesper Karlsson shoots from distance. Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen Neither Dundee United nor Aberdeen have been able to find a way through yet. Martin Boyle, penalty Hibs score the first Scottish Premiership goal of the evening with Martin Boyle making no mistake with his penalty kick. Martin Boyle scored his fourth goal of the season Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian And Hibs have the chance to lead from the penalty spot. A volleyed cross came quickly at Ethan Williams and struck his hand. Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian Referee Callum Scott has been called over to the monitor to check a possible Ethan Williams handball. Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen Zac Sapsford forces a strong save from Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov after some good work from Amar Fatah down the left. From the resulting corner, Bert Esselink's header flashes just wide. Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian Ian Mc Call Former Falkirk manager on BBC Sportsound You feel a Hibs goal is coming. The two midfield players are starting to run the game. It's a critical time for Falkirk. Hibs are really dominant now. Bowie hasn't got his touch going yet. It feels like a matter of time. The Scottish Championship teams playing tonight are showing their Premiership counterparts how it's done with three goals so far. Can the top-flight cohort find an opener? Kieron Bowie was unable to convert this chance for Hibs Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian Ian Mc Call Former Falkirk manager on BBC Sportsound It should be 1-0 Hibs, that was a magnificent save. Catastrophic defending from Falkirk. Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian That really should have been the opener for Hibs! Goalkeeper Scott Bain gives the ball away cheaply trying to pass out from his own box. Kieron Bowie latches on to it but Bain gets back to his feet quickly and dives to keep the ball out. Match report to appear here. Rate players out of 10 for this game.
