Outstanding performance
Aberdeen•AttackerAberdeen secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Hibernian at Pittodrie, with the match effectively decided by Grant Hanley's early red card for violent conduct. Kevin Nisbet proved the difference, converting the resulting penalty in the 17th minute before doubling his tally in the 75th minute to seal the points. Aberdeen dominated proceedings with 53% possession and 17 shots to Hibernian's four, creating 51 dangerous attacks compared to just 22 for the visitors who struggled throughout with ten men. This result continues Aberdeen's positive momentum and highlights their clinical finishing, while Hibernian's indiscipline cost them dearly in what became a damage limitation exercise for the majority of the contest.
