Kilmarnock Secure Crucial Point in Relegation Battle After Late Penalty Drama
A dramatic late penalty save by Kelle Roos earned Kilmarnock a vital point in their fight against relegation, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee. The match saw a wild conclusion, with Jamie Brandon conceding a penalty for a foul on Scott Wright, only for VAR to intervene and check for offside. After a six-minute delay, referee Ross Hardie confirmed the penalty, but Roos made a crucial save to deny Joe Westley. Kilmarnock had taken the lead through Joe Hugill's early strike, before Dundee equalized against the run of play through Simon Murray's header. The home side regained the lead with a superb Michael Schjonning-Larsen strike, but Dundee levelled again through Scott Wright's fine finish. The point keeps Kilmarnock in the relegation play-off spot, two points behind St Mirren. Manager Neil McCann felt his side deserved three points, but was relieved to take a point after the late penalty drama. Dundee boss Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which he believes puts undue pressure on officials to make correct decisions.
