Overview
- The stalemate left United nine points and Aberdeen ten behind Falkirk in the chase for the final top-six place.
- Aberdeen’s best opening went begging when Toyosi Olusanya set up Kevin Nisbet, who miskicked wide of an empty net on 51 minutes.
- United’s Pan Camara hit the inside of Per Kristian Bratveit’s post before late chances for Amar Fatah, Ivan Dolcek and Emmanuel Agyei were missed.
- Aberdeen appeals for a penalty were rejected after Graeme Shinnie’s corner struck Iurie Iovu’s arm, with VAR upholding referee Don Robertson’s on-field decision.
- On a sand-strewn Tannadice surface after an earlier weather postponement, a depleted Aberdeen back line reshuffled yet avoided an eighth straight away defeat.
