Match Report

TTA report

Poor marking let Aberdeen in (31) but Mathie levelled (67) after a tangle with the Aberdeen No 5 who was carried off and 10-man Aberdeen's off-side trap became their main defence. Neither side played well in a scrappy game and a draw looked likely until a 20-yarder by the right-back took Steadward by surprise (87).
