ABERDEEN, Scotland (Interstat) — Aberdeen delivered a devastating and record-equaling attacking performance at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday, routing Livingston 6-2 in a Scottish Premiership match that descended into chaos with two late red cards.

The eight-goal thriller, played on Jan. 24, 2026, saw the home side explode for their highest league goal tally in over a decade, matching a 6-0 win from 2010. The result provided a massive boost for Aberdeen’s league campaign, moving them to 7 wins, 11 losses and 6 draws. For Livingston, the heavy defeat deepened a dire season, leaving them with just a single league victory against 13 losses and 7 draws.

The match was effectively decided in a blistering first half. Aberdeen striker Kenan Bilalovic opened the scoring in the 9th minute, setting the tone for the onslaught. The home side then struck twice in quick succession just before the half-hour mark. Substitute Mahamadou Susoho found the net in the 28th minute, followed by another substitute, Robbie Muirhead, just three minutes later to make it 3-0.

Livingston, which entered the match on a run of four consecutive draws in all competitions, was shell-shocked. Aberdeen forward Kevin Nisbet compounded the misery in first-half stoppage time, scoring in the 45+4 minute to send the teams into the break with the home side leading 4-0.

The second half continued in a similar vein. Aberdeen midfielder Sivert Nilsen added a fifth in the 75th minute. The standout performer, midfielder Topi Keskinen, then put an emphatic stamp on the game with a late brace, scoring in the 85th and 90+2 minutes. Keskinen’s two goals and an assist anchored a dominant team display.

The match turned increasingly fractious as it progressed, with six yellow cards shown. The discipline fully unraveled in the 69th and 70th minutes. Livingston’s Jack Milne was shown a straight red card in the 69th minute, and Aberdeen’s Jeremy Bokila followed him just a minute later, also receiving a red, reducing both sides to 10 men for the final 20 minutes.

Livingston managed to salvage a measure of pride with two late consolation goals, but they did little to mask another poor defensive showing. The visitors have now conceded 16 goals in their last five Premiership matches.

The lopsided result defied the pre-match projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had predicted a 2-1 victory for Livingston. However, the organization’s ELO rating system had heavily favored Aberdeen with an 81.7% probability to win, a forecast that proved far more accurate.

For Aberdeen, the victory provides crucial momentum as they look to climb the Premiership table. Their next test is a trip to Kilmarnock on Jan. 31. Livingston, rooted to the bottom of the standings, faces a daunting task to turn its season around, beginning with a home match against Motherwell on Jan. 31. The teams had last met in November, with Aberdeen securing a 1-0 away win, meaning they have taken all six points from Livingston this season.
