Kilmarnock Snatch Crucial Point in Relegation Battle Against Dundee
Kilmarnock goalkeeper Kelle Roos made a crucial stoppage-time penalty save to secure a vital point for his team in their battle against relegation. The match against Dundee ended in a 2-2 draw, with Roos denying Dundee striker Joe Westley from the spot. The penalty was awarded after Jamie Brandon fouled Scott Wright, but the decision was delayed due to a VAR check for offside. The wait seemed to affect Westley, who was unable to convert the penalty. Kilmarnock remain in the relegation play-off spot but are now just two points behind St Mirren. The home side started strongly, with Luke Graham's weak header allowing Greg Kiltie to set up Bruce Anderson, who then found Joe Hugill for the opening goal. Dundee equalized against the run of play when Tony Yogane beat his man and delivered a cross that Simon Murray headed in. Kilmarnock regained the lead through Michael Schjonning-Larsen's low drive, but Dundee substitute Scott Wright scored a late equalizer. The visitors were then awarded a penalty in stoppage time, but Roos made the save to secure a point for Kilmarnock. Dundee manager Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which made it difficult for officials to make correct decisions. Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann felt his team should have won the game but was thankful for the point.
