HT: Aberdeen 0-1 Dundee United
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at Pittodrie
Aberdeen have had nearly 77% possession in this first half, but the only statistic that matters is that Dundee United have the lead.
The visitors have executed their game plan perfectly.
They have kept their shape and defended well, and taken their chances – or chance – when it came along,
The Dons haven’t enjoyed much in the way of dynamic possession, and that is reflected by the fact the United keeper has not been called into action all that often.
They need to find a way of unlocking a resolute United after the break, while Jim Goodwin will want more of the same from his players.
