Match Report

TTA report

Aberdeen were the better team from the start but it was 20 minutes before they scored with a 25-yard shot. They lost their No 5 (46) during a scramble when 3 shots were cleared off their line in 5 seconds. The 10 men hung on gamely until their goalkeeper dropped a cross and Duffy knocked it in (78). A lucky point.
