Dons suffer more woe

27 November 2010 19:00
Kilmarnock piled more misery on Aberdeen as a disputed penalty helped the Ayrshire side claim a comfortable 2-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League triumph at Rugby Park. Jamie Hamill put the game beyond the Dons early in the second period after Israeli referee Eli Hacmon ruled that Jamie Langfield had brought down Alexei Eremenko. Aberdeen complained but there was little doubt about who the better team was following Conor Sammon's opening goal. Hacmon produced an assured performance after replacing striking Scottish officials and there appeared to be contact at the penalty incident despite complaints from the visitors. Aberdeen have now taken just four points from a possible 39 and their second-half performance offered little encouragement they can turn their fortunes around in the near future. Snow was cleared off the pitch before kick-off to allow Hacmon to take charge of his first Scottish game, assisted by compatriots Eyal Hatuca and Amihay-Yesoshhua Mozes with Malta's Marco Borg acting as fourth official.
