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 bid for survival, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee. The match ended in thrilling fashion, with Roos denying Dundee striker Joe Westley from the spot in stoppage time. The penalty was awarded after Jamie Brandon conceded a foul, but the decision was delayed due to a VAR review for offside. The lengthy wait seemed to affect Westley, who was thwarted by Roos' correct guess. Kilmarnock remain in the relegation play-off spot but are now just two points behind St Mirren. The home side started brightly, taking the lead in the 14th minute through Joe Hugill's volley. Dundee equalized against the run of play when Simon Murray headed in from six yards. Kilmarnock regained the lead with a superb strike from Michael Schjonning-Larsen, but Dundee leveled again through Scott Wright's fine finish. The visitors were given a late chance to snatch all three points when they were awarded a penalty, but Roos' save secured a point for Kilmarnock. Dundee manager Steven Pressley expressed sympathy for the officials, citing the lack of investment in technology as a major issue. Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann felt his side should have won the game but was confident in their ability to climb the table.
