Kilmarnock Snatch Crucial Point in Relegation Battle Against Dundee After Late Penalty Drama
Kilmarnock goalkeeper Kelle Roos made a crucial stoppage-time penalty save from Dundee's Joe Westley, securing a vital point for his team in their fight against relegation. The match ended 2-2, with Kilmarnock remaining in the relegation play-off spot, just two points behind St Mirren. The home side started strongly, with Luke Graham's poor header allowing Greg Kiltie to set up Bruce Anderson, whose strike was deflected into the path of 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 cross that Simon Murray headed in. Kilmarnock regained the lead through Michael Schjonning-Larsen's superb left-footed drive, but Dundee leveled the score when Imari Samuels split the Kilmarnock defense, allowing Scott Wright to score. The visitors were awarded a penalty in stoppage time after Jamie Brandon fouled Scott Wright, but Roos guessed correctly and saved Westley's penalty. Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann felt his team should have won, while Dundee manager Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which made it difficult for officials to make correct decisions.
