DUNDEE UNITED 1 - 1 DUNDEE

17th March 2013

Despite dominating throughout, United left it late to take a more than deserved point in a pulsating advert for Scottish football. Dundee took a surprise lead though Ryan Conroy and United equalised through substitute Michael Gardyne.

United controlled the game from the off. Dundee struggled to deal with the Tangerines and went down to ten men as Gary Irvine lead with his elbow on Richie Ryan. Having been let off with some robust fouls early on, he left Referee Bobby Madden with no choice but show him a red card.

In the second half United continued to control the game. However, it was the visitors who took the lead when Ryan Conroy lashed a left foot shot past Radoslaw Cierzniak. United pressed for an equaliser as the ten men of Dundee camped on the edge of the 18 yard box. Michael Gardyne played the part of super sub as on 89 minutes he fired the ball high into the middle of the goal from close range to send the home support into raptures.
