Aberdeen Secures 12th Consecutive Victory in Scottish Premiership
Aberdeen continued their winning streak in the William Hill Premiership by defeating Dundee 2-1 at Dens Park, maintaining a perfect start to the season with 12 consecutive victories. The Dons showcased their dominance early on, with goals from Kevin Nisbet and Topi Keskinen in the first half before Simon Murray pulled one back for Dundee just before halftime.
Key Moments in the Match
In the 14th minute, Keskinen took advantage of a defensive error by Billy Koumetio to set up Nisbet for the opening goal, putting Aberdeen in the lead. The Dons extended their advantage in the 32nd minute when Graeme Shinnie provided an assist for Keskinen, who confidently found the back of the net.
Dundee managed to claw their way back into the game just before halftime when Murray converted a penalty after being fouled by Gavin Molloy in the box. Despite a spirited effort in the second half, Dundee was unable to find an equalizer, with Aberdeen’s defense holding firm to secure the victory.
Team Changes and Absences
Dundee made three changes to their lineup from the previous match, with Jon McCracken, Ethan Ingram, and Clark Robertson coming in for Trevor Carson, Oluwaseun Adewumi, and the injured Jordan McGhee. Aberdeen, on the other hand, faced the absence of striker Pape Habib Gueye due to injury, with Keskinen stepping up to fill the void in the attacking lineup.
Before the match kicked off, both teams paid tribute to former Dundee striker Fabian Caballero, who tragically passed away at the age of 46, with a minute’s applause in his honor.

Despite Dundee’s valiant efforts in the second half, Aberdeen’s early lead proved to be insurmountable, allowing the Dons to clinch their sixth league win in a row.
