Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic finish against Dundee
A stoppage-time penalty save by Kelle Roos from Dundee's Joe Westley secured a vital point for Kilmarnock in their fight for survival, ending the match in a 2-2 draw. The drama unfolded in the dying minutes when Jamie Brandon conceded a penalty for a foul on Scott Wright, but after a lengthy VAR review, Roos made the decisive save to deny Westley. Kilmarnock remains in the relegation play-off spot, narrowing the gap to St Mirren to two points. The home team 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 in the 24th minute, with Tony Yogane beating his marker and delivering a cross that Simon Murray headed in from six yards. Kilmarnock regained the lead when Michael Schjonning-Larsen lashed a low drive into the bottom corner after Billy Koumetio cleared Greg Kiltie's shot. Dundee leveled the score when Imari Samuels split the Kilmarnock defense, sending Scott Wright through to finish past Roos. The visitors had the chance to snatch all three points in the final attack, but Westley's penalty was saved by Roos. 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 team should have won the game, but acknowledged that they might be thankful for the point in hindsight.
