 ROBBIE WINTERS was the hero once again for the Dons, as he grabbed the only goal
of an otherwise appalling game. The goal was the first real chance of the match,
and it came with 23 minutes remaining of the game. Neither team really got started
in the first half, and there were no clear cut chances in the first half. Aberdeen
were the slightly better of the two teams in the second half, and that paid off
when Winters tapped in the only goal of the encounter after 67 minutes. The next
chance came for Andy Dow, when he went on a superb run. He was unlucky not to
make it 2-0, and the Dons had to settle for a corner. Nothing came from the corner
and the opportunity fizzled out into nothing. Aberdeen held on for the remainder
of the match, and can now face Dundee in the next SPL match with the confidence
that they can stay in the top division.
