Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic late penalty save
Kilmarnock's Kelle Roos made a pivotal stoppage-time penalty save to earn his team a vital point in their fight against relegation. The match against Dundee ended 2-2, with a wild conclusion that included a penalty being awarded and then confirmed after a lengthy VAR review. Dundee's Joe Westley took the penalty, but Roos guessed correctly and made the save. This result keeps Kilmarnock in the relegation play-off spot, just two points behind St Mirren. The home team started brightly, with Luke Graham's poor header allowing Greg Kiltie to set up Bruce Anderson, whose shot was deflected to Joe Hugill, who scored his third goal for Kilmarnock. Dundee equalized against the run of play when Tony Yogane beat his man and delivered a great cross that Simon Murray headed in. Kilmarnock regained the lead through Michael Schjonning-Larsen's superb left-footed drive, but Dundee leveled again when Scott Wright finished past Roos after being set up by Imari Samuels. The visitors had the chance to win the game with a late penalty, but Roos's save secured a point for Kilmarnock. Dundee manager Steven Pressley expressed frustration with the VAR system, stating that the technology is not fit for purpose and that officials are being put in difficult situations. Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann felt his team should have won the game but was confident in their ability to improve their position in the table.
