Aberdeen Res 3 Inverness CT 3
Aberdeen Reserves drew 3-3 this afternoon in closed doors friendly against Inverness CT at the Barracks, Bridge of Don.
Tommy Wright got a goal and another good run out as he battles back to full fitness. Maurice Ross also played as did Mackie, Maguire, Aluko, Duff and Young.
Scott Bain was in goals with a back four of Ross, Crawford, Duff and Clark Robertson at left back. Young Clark had a very impressive game. In midfield Young and Stewart were in the centre with Maguire on the right and Aluko on the left. Although the two players switched wings at half time. Up front Tommy was partnered by Darren Mackie.
In a very entertaining and open match Inverness took the lead through Eric Odhiambo on 26 minutes. Aberdeen equalised on 40 minutes when Chris Maguire did really well down the right. His cross was half blocked and Tommy Wright was on hand to slot the ball home.
Andrew Barrowman then put ICT back in front on 57 minutes but two minutes later the Dons were level again. Sone put in another great ball and it appeared that Inverness defender Lionel Djebi-Zadi got the final touch to put the ball past his own keeper (59 minutes).
Then two minutes after that Aberdeen went in front. Sone Aluko played a superb long ball to Darren Mackie who latched onto it and finished well. (61 minutes)
Mark McGhee then made a number of substitutions and Aberdeen lost their shape a bit. On 76 minutes after a bit of confusion at the back substitute Shane Sutherland was given room and he made the score 3-3.
Both teams had a number of chances to win the game but Scott Bain and his opposite number Kyle Allison both made some good saves.
Mark McGhee will be pleased to have given a number of his first team players a good run out.
RedTV was there and will have the goals on at some point.
