Story

Aberdeen secured a hard-fought victory over Dundee United in a tight match on Saturday, moving to the top of the Scottish Premiership. Substitute Peter Ambrose emerged as the hero, scoring the decisive goal in the dying minutes, thus extending Aberdeen's impressive unbeaten run to 15 matches, with 14 wins during this stretch. The match took place at Pittodrie, where Aberdeen struggled against a well-organized United side. Despite dominating possession, Aberdeen found it challenging to break through United's defense. The Dons had only one significant attempt in the first half, failing to score. However, in the second half, they increased their offensive efforts, with several close chances. Ambrose's late strike ensured Aberdeen gained valuable points and put them three points clear of Celtic, who were scheduled to play on the following day. This victory solidified their position at the summit ahead of an upcoming clash against Rangers next week.
