2 – 2
“Mitchel Frame gave Aberdeen the lead, converting to make it 0-1 and reward the visitors' disciplined defensive shape with an incisive attacking move.”
Pivotal“Joel Nouble levelled for Livingston just a minute into the second half, converting to make it 1-1 and immediately unsettling Aberdeen following their half-time lead.”
Pivotal“Danny Finlayson turned the ball into his own net to give Aberdeen a 2-1 lead — a cruel moment for the Livingston defender that appeared to hand the visitors all three points.”
Pivotal“Substitute Robbie Muirhead levelled at 2-2, arriving off the bench to rescue Livingston just seven minutes after Finlayson's own goal and deny Aberdeen what had seemed a deserved victory.”

Outstanding performance
Livingston•AttackerAberdeen arrived at the Tony Macaroni Arena and took the lead through Mitchel Frame just before the half-hour mark, and for long periods looked capable of seeing the game out. The visitors were more economical with their chances — converting two of just seven shots compared to Livingston's five on target from sixteen attempts — but a chaotic second half ultimately denied them the win. Livingston levelled almost immediately after the restart through Joel Nouble, before an unfortunate Danny Finlayson own goal in the 71st minute handed Aberdeen the advantage again. The hosts, however, refused to fold: substitute Robbie Muirhead struck within minutes of Finlayson's misfortune to make it 2-2, and the increasingly frantic closing stages — marked by four yellow cards between the 70th and 90th minutes — could not separate the sides. For Livingston, the draw reflects their resilience and territorial dominance throughout, while Aberdeen will be frustrated to have surrendered a lead twice and left with only a point.
