Man I jumped back into my eFootball Scottish league after a long while and it felt so good to be back ☹️🤲 Loaded up as Hibernian FC vs Aberdeen FC and from the first whistle at 9:45 I could tell the game was gonna be mine. You can see it in the early clips, Hibs in the green and white kits pushing up, Aberdeen in red trying to hold shape. I was rusty at first, misplacing a few passes with Connolly and Cadden, but the movement was coming back. The stadium looks proper too with the "eFootball" boards and the crowd noise, made me remember why I love this league in the game. At 10 minutes it was still 0-0 but I was already getting into my rhythm with Switch and Match-up, trying to control the midfield.
The first half hour was all about patience and finding the gaps. I kept working the ball with Jamie McGrath, Shankland, and Martin Boyle, just recycling possession and waiting for Aberdeen to make a mistake. You could see the names pop up on screen as I moved it around, trying through balls with Elding and Boyle. Aberdeen barely got out of their half, and I was using Dash & Pressure to win it back high. The tension was building because I knew the first goal was coming. At 20:45 the moment hit. Owen Elding got the ball, took the shot, and boom 1-0 to Hibs. The screen flashed "47 Owen Elding Today's Goals: 1" and then the celebration cutscene kicked in with him running with arms wide to the crowd. That felt like such a release after being away from the Scottish league for so long.
After going 1-0 up at 21 minutes the whole game changed. Hibs just took over. The stats at full time tell you everything, 63% possession for me vs 37% for Aberdeen, 7 shots to 2, and 5 shots on target to 0. Aberdeen didn’t even get a shot on target the whole match 😂 I was dictating everything from midfield, 56 passes with 37 successful, and the defense was locked in with 10 interceptions. You can see in the clips after the goal how comfortable I was, passing around the center circle with Newell and Boyle, not forcing anything. Aberdeen looked lost, only 2 fouls and 2 saves all game. They just couldn’t cope with the movement.
By full time it ended 4-0 to Hibernian FC. I don’t have every goal clip here but that final scoreboard with the yellow and blue SPFL design says it all. 4 goals, clean sheet, and total domination. We had 2 corners, 1 offside, and even though Aberdeen had 2 free kicks they did nothing with them. The interceptions were 10-10 so it was a battle in midfield at times, but I had 8 tackles to their 2 so I was winning the duels too. Seeing Hibernian 150 Years badge on that screen after such a big win just hit different. Coming back to this league and putting on a performance like that felt like I never left.
Honestly this match reminded me why I love eFootball and the Scottish Premiership. It’s not about fancy skill moves every time, it’s about control, building up, and punishing teams. Starting with a 4-0 win, Owen Elding scoring early, and keeping Aberdeen to 0 shots on target is the perfect way to return ☹️🤲 Next game I’m trying to keep this momentum going and see how far I can take Hibs this season.
