29,000 saw Aberdeen score first (set up by a cruel deflection off Rae, 5) but Ness scored following a free-kick 3 yards out (keeper penalised for over-carrying, 15). Both teams hit the bar then a fine move resulted in Simpson making it 2-1 (44). If anything Aberdeen had the better chances but Thistle were the more balanced side.
