Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic late penalty save
A stunning stoppage-time penalty save by Kelle Roos secured a vital point for Kilmarnock in their fight for survival, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee in a thrilling match. The drama unfolded when Jamie Brandon conceded a penalty for a foul on Scott Wright, but after a lengthy VAR review, Roos made a crucial save to deny Joe Westley. Kilmarnock remains in the relegation play-off spot, but moved within two points of St Mirren. The home team started brightly, with Luke Graham's weak header allowing Greg Kiltie to set up Bruce Anderson, who laid the ball off for Joe Hugill to score his third goal for Kilmarnock. Dundee equalized against the run of play when Tony Yogane beat his man and delivered a perfect cross for Simon Murray to head 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 to set up Scott Wright. The match ended with Dundee being awarded a penalty, but Roos's save ensured Kilmarnock earned a crucial point. Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann felt his team should have won, but was confident in their ability to climb the table. Dundee manager Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which made it difficult for officials to make correct decisions.
