Juan Sara - Coming Back to Form

Dundee started unbelievably well when Zerouali decked Ketsbia in the box and we were awarded a penalty whick Juan Sara tucked away with ease.

Zerouali should have been shown red as he commited foul after foul, But he only received yellow.







The Magnificent Ketsbaia after
scoring for Newcastle
Dundee continued to pile on the pressure and it paid dividends when Dave Mackay played Ketsbia in and he struck a wonder strike from 25 yds.

Half Time Summary:-

We were looking well and werent really tested much at the back.

As the teams emerged for the second half Aberdeen were without Zerouali, Ebbe must have known he would have been heading down the tunnel had he remained
.

Dundee had a good chance in the 53rd minute which Artero squandered by shooting past the post when it looked easier to score.

Then I dont know what happened and I'll bet neither does any other Dundee Supporter when Aberdeen took the game by the scruff of the neck and left us for dead.

Aberdeen's next attack saw them pull it back to 2-1 with Darren Mackie hitting the net from 20yds after Dundee's defence failed to clear a Tiernen Cross.

They then made it all square in the 73rd minute when Russell Anderson rose the highest from a cross and headed in.

You just had that gut feeling of what was to happen next.

And how right I was when Mackie won it with and angled header that seemed to be cleared off the line but the goal was given.

Romano
Romano went crazy and wouldnt leave the ref alone and was shown yellow then later Aberdeen were awarded a free kick and he was shown red for apparently spitting at an Aberdeen player.

Full Time Report:-

It Sickens me to see us keep throwing away points like this and Ivano must look at his tactics, We can't keep giving away leads like this!
