    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    Declan Gallagher makes a crunching challenge on Shaun Byrne and it looks like the Dundee midfielder's game is over.

    Looked like the Aberdeen centre-half got there first to clear right enough.

  2. Adam named man of the matchpublished at 19:40 British Summer Time 16 October 2021

    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    Just as I mention the name, the home tannoy booms out the choice of Charlie Adam as man of the match and the BBC Radio Scotland pundits agree with the choice.

    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    It's Aberdeen doing all the pressing as we enter the closing stages.

    Home midfielder Charlie Adam looks out on his feet, but manager James McPake is obviously hesitant to replace such an influential character as we enter a crucial phase of the match.

    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    Dundee centre-half Lee Ashcroft is down after a clash of heads as he looks to clear inside his own penalty box.

    The former Dunfermline man is being patched though.

    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    There's big shouts for a hand ball in Dundee's penalty box, then for a foul after a thumping challenge by Aberdeen's David Bates, but the referee waves play on after both flash points.

  6. YELLOW CARD Hayes (Aberdeen)published at 19:31 British Summer Time 16 October 2021

    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    It's getting a bit towsy now and Aberdeen midfielder Ryan Hedges is shown a yellow card then Dundee's Danny Mullen is fortunate not to follow shortly after for scything down Lewis Ferguson.

  7. Double change works wonderspublished at 19:29 British Summer Time 16 October 2021

    Dundee 2-1 Aberdeen

    Just before the Aberdeen goal, manager Stephen Glass had made two changes and they appear to have breathed new life into the visitors.

    Marley Watkins and Niall McGinn came on for Funso Ojo and Jonny Hayes.

    Ryan Hedges finds space and sends in a powerful drive that goalkeeper Adam Legzdins turns it wide.

    It's a really testing cross from MacKenzie and Ramirez simply side-foots it into the back of the net. Really good positional sense from the striker

    Christian Ramirez

    Just when Dundee looked on their way to a first win on their Premiership return, Christian Ramirez strikes.

    A superb cross from Jack MacKenzie curls across the face of goal and the American striker turns it in from a difficult angle at the back post for his seventh goal of the season.

    The Aberdeen defence don't identify the danger. It's a great goal, but he's got so much space and really only has to beat the goalkeeper. Aberdeen are in dire, dire trouble

    Luke McCowan had a similar chance in first half and blazed it over, but he was calmness personified there. Dundee really deserve this lead

    Luke McCowan

    Could that be curtains for Aberdeen?

    Striker Luke McCowan is given plenty of space on the edge of the visiting box to play a one-two before finding the near corner with a low curler.

    That's the end of the evening for Leigh Griffiths as James McPake opts to sub him off for Cillian Sheridan.

    Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack is in attendance tonight with his predecessor Stewart Milne.

    They'll both have lots to talk about as Aberdeen head for a 10th game without a win and a fifth defeat in a row.

    That's what Leigh Griffiths brings, quality. He manages to create a pocket of space for himself and there's not many in Scotland that can do that

    Leigh Griffiths

    Paul McMullan plays a wonderful ball over the top and Leigh Griffiths takes one touch to set himself and finishes with aplomb.

    Really poor defending from Aberdeen but Griffiths won't care. That's his first goal for Dundee since joining on loan from Celtic.

    We're back under way at Dens.

    Let's hope for some better attacking intent and maybe, just maybe, some goals?

    As Willie says neither side deserves to be ahead but I think Dundee have shown more of an identity to their play. I've been disappointed with Aberdeen, I don't see any form of how they're trying to play

    I don't think either manager can put forward a case that they should be leading at half time. The scorline is absolutely accurate for what we've witnessed
