Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic late penalty save

A dramatic late penalty save by Kelle Roos allowed Kilmarnock to earn a vital point in their fight for survival, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee. The match was marked by a wild ending, with Jamie Brandon conceding a penalty for a foul on Scott Wright, only for VAR to intervene and check for offside. After a lengthy delay, Roos made the crucial save to deny Joe Westley. Kilmarnock remain in the relegation play-off spot but are now just two points behind St Mirren. The home side started brightly, with Luke Graham's weak header being pounced upon by Greg Kiltie, who set up Bruce Anderson. Anderson's strike was deflected into the path of Joe Hugill, who volleyed in his third goal for Kilmarnock. 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 a superb Michael Schjonning-Larsen strike, but Dundee leveled when Scott Wright finished past Roos. The visitors were given a late chance to snatch all three points when they were awarded a penalty, but Roos's save ensured Kilmarnock took a point. 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 side should have won the game but was confident in their ability to climb the table.
