Aberdeen 1 - 1 Kilmarnock

The Dons should have taken the lead in the 27th minute. Neat play between Michie and Thornley saw the Dons win a corner. Thornley delivered a decent cross and Rutkiewicz bulleted his header inches wide of the post with the keeper beaten. The Dons were beginning to create more chances and on the half-hour mark Clark released Zerouali on the right. The Moroccan delivered an early ball and Innes just managed to beat Michie to the ball and clear for a corner.

The Dons should have done better in the 37th minute when O'Donoghue broke through the centre and found Zerouali on the right. The Moroccan's cross was just too far ahead of the front men allowing Meldrum to gather. Pizzo had a decent shot on target in the 44th minute, but Esson was able to gather at the second attempt.

Zerouali went close in the 59th minute. After working his way across the 18yard box, he unleashed a powerful drive that was blocked. The ball was fed out to him on the right again and after slipping the ball past Meldrum he watched in agony as his shot was cleared off the line. Michie had a chance two minutes later, but was closed down as he released his shot allowing Meldrum to gather easily. The Dons finally opened the scoring in the 63rd minute and it was a well-worked goal. O'Donoghue surged forward and found Zerouali on the left. He cleverly released Thornley and Michie had the easiest of tasks to fire the ball into the net from the wingers cross.

Kilmarnock went close in the 67th minute when McDonald fired over following a corner. The visitors did equalise in the 75th minute as they broke quickly from a Dons attack. McCutcheon hit the bye line on the right and his cut back was converted by Jaconelli from six yards. The goal had come in a period when Aberdeen looked more likely to extend their lead. Neither team were able to carve any more openings and both had to settle for a share of the points.
