Dundee started the game well attacking Kilmarnock with some slick football, it was good to see the crowd behind the team. Dundee opened the scoring on 10 minutes when good play got Adil Nabi into the box the ball fell nicely and he curled a beauty into the corner of the net. It was all Dundee now and they had settled well.
Kilmarnock did had have a few chances but missed them. But after 16 minutes the game was level when Jordan Jones's cross hit Andy Boyle and spun high to land into the net for a fluke of a goal. Dundee kept at it and got to half time with the score at 1-1. Kilmarnock did take heart from their goal and slightly edged the half as the better side.
Second half and both teams attacked each other. Elliot Parish made a great save and soon after Kilmarnock was awarded a penalty after Jones went down in the box, it looked like a blatant dive but the Ref pointed to the spot. Brophy scored with ease to give Killie the lead.
Soon after Kilmarnock got another penalty when Burke went down after a challenge from Miller, it looked very soft. Up stepped Ex-Dee Greg Stewart but his shot was brilliantly saved by Elliot Parish.
Dundee pushed to the end but Killie held out to claim the three points. Dundee can feel hard done by today a few positives good performances from the players. Next up is a trip to Livingston who have started well.
