Neither side found a way through in the first 45 minutes, and it looked like it might be one of those nights where chances were hard to come by. The second half told a different story once the scoring finally got going. Both teams will take something from this one, though neither will be fully satisfied with just a point. Dundee will feel they let a chance slip having got themselves back on level terms, while St Johnstone can point to their away form holding up against tricky opposition. The draw does little to change the picture at either end of the table, but with games coming thick and fast this season, dropped points now could matter later on.
