Match Report on 5 Goal Thriller at the Theatre

Last updated : 13 February 2010 By Killie Kingdom

KILMARNOCK 3-2 ST JOHNSTONE

In a game which would have been uncertain to be a draw or even a loss under JJ, turned out to be a great game at the Theatre in East Ayrshire.

In the first half it seemed to be turning out to be 0-0 draw due to umpteen chances,  for both sides but coming to success until what could be known as the enevitable happened. St Johnstone opened the scoring thanks to MacDonald's goal in the 36th minute, which was quickly followed by Chris Maguire's equaliser for the home side bang on half time.

In the second half Graham Gartland's header put the visitor's 2-1 up in the 64th minute, and yet again this was followed by the Killie equalised via Garry Hay's goal. Both sides pushed forward to try and get the winning goal, everything apart from the kitchen sink was thrown to get the final goal that would seal 3 points for one side. In the 76th minute the winning goal came, and it was advantage Ayrshire as Kevin Kyle scored a header. Full time score at Rugby Park - Kilmarnock 3-2 St Johnstone.

NEXT UP: The Buddies come to visit (this game I want to be at) so it's going to be another thriller hopefully so Mon the Killie!
