Dons Draw with a Double at Dens |
 |
 Aberdeen picked up a point against Dundee at Dens Park this afternoon, with Arild
Stavrum netting the equaliser from the penalty spot. Stavrum nearly put the Dons
a goal up in the first minute, but Dee defender Steven Tweed knocked the ball
off the line. Cannigia hit a shot on goal two minutes later, but he couldn't
find the net.
The Dons kept up the pressure on the Dee defence, and in the 14th minute,
On-loan Don ALEX DI-ROCCO made it 1-0. The big Frenchman was in the right place
at the
right time, and finished clinically.
Arild Stavrum had a great chance to make it 2-0, after 27 minutes, but he
fired over the bar.
Claudio Cannigia was on form, and with 5 minutes left in the first half he
set up Sara, but he couldn't grab the equaliser.
Two minutes later, Winters had a shot deflected wide and out for a Don's
corner.
Four minutes into the second half saw Cannigia have a good effort, brilliantly
saved by young Don Ryan Esson. The Don's keeper tipped over the bar to
deny Dundee a goal. With half an hour left, Dundee finally got an equaliser.
CARRANZA
brilliantly
fired home, after being set up by Juan Sara.
Arild Stavrum had a 68th minute strike ruled offside, and just two minutes
later SARA made it 2-1 to Dundee.
Aberdeen's chances of getting anything from the game were starting to
look slim, until Di-Rocco was ruled to have been brought down in the
box, and
the Dons were
awarded a penalty.
Despite having missed a few chances during the game, Arild Stavrum
stepped up to make it 2-2.
Dundee looked likely to make it 3-2 in the 84th minute when Cannigia
had a great chance, but a superb double save from Esson made sure that
the
Dons went back
to Pittodrie with a point.
