Dundee 0 Ross County 2, Dens Park, Premier League, 8th-February-13

Dundee on the attack second half

Ross County left Dens park with all three points on Friday night which was live on BBC Alba. Dundee battled away for the 90 minutes but Ross County were stronger and quicker on the break when it mattered. In the first 30 minutes Dundee were very poor with all their efforts going to the County keeper who had a easy first half. Only a Gary Harkins shot which was just over was of any note. At the other end Rab Douglas had a couple of decent saves. Both teams had penalties claims turned down by the referee. 

Second half and much more of the same with Dundee struggling to create any clear cut chances with County hitting on the break and should have scored when Wohlfarth was put one on one with Rab Douglas but somehow he put it over the bar. Dundee only response was a poor Baird header wide when the striker had time and space to take the ball down. County scored with just 7 minutes to go when Lawson shot came back off the bar and the linesman said the ball had crossed the line, at the time l could not be sure on this. Then in the final minute County broke and Glen raced clear to round Douglas to score a fine score to seal the points.

Dundee battled away tonight and you can't fault most of the players, but they do struggled to link the midfield and the strikers up. The final ball in the box is very poor most of the time. I hope they can raise it for the Cup game in 3 weeks time as it's looks like First Division Football next season.
