Kilmarnock Secures Crucial Point in Relegation Battle After Dramatic Late Penalty Save
A dramatic late penalty save by Kelle Roos earned Kilmarnock a vital point in their fight for survival, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee. The match saw a wild ending, with a stoppage-time penalty being awarded to Dundee, only for Roos to guess correctly and deny Joe Westley. The point keeps Kilmarnock in the relegation play-off spot, just two points behind St Mirren. The home side had started brightly, with Luke Graham's poor header being capitalized on by Greg Kiltie, who helped the ball on to Bruce Anderson, and his strike was deflected into the path of Joe Hugill, who volleyed in his third goal for Kilmarnock. Dundee equalized against the run of play, with Tony Yogane beating his man and delivering a great cross that Simon Murray headed in. Kilmarnock regained the lead through a superb left-footed drive by Michael Schjonning-Larsen, but Dundee levelled again when Imari Samuels split the Kilmarnock defence and sent Scott Wright through to score. The point could be crucial for Kilmarnock, who remain in the relegation play-off spot, and manager Neil McCann felt his side should have won the game. Dundee manager Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which he felt made it difficult for officials to make correct decisions, particularly with regards to the late penalty incident.
