Match Report

TTA report

Aberdeen had a goal correctly chalked off for off-side in the 1st minute then a good move resulted in their opener (7). A better spell of pressure by Thistle saw a defender score an OG when under pressure from Walker (37) but there was no fight-back and Aberdeen dominated the second half, scoring on the hour mark.
