Marius Müller kept the score down with nine saves, including sharp stops from James Forrest and Mika Baur after the break. Viljami Sinisalo made two saves at the other end as the Dons threatened sporadically.

After the restart, the Dons made four changes at half-time, and Lewis Smith soon forced Sinisalo into a central save.

There was a brief stoppage for Kevin Nisbet's treatment before the interval, but play quickly resumed.

The Bhoys registered 27 attempts, 12 on target, and took 15 corners while enjoying 66.2% possession. Aberdeen mustered nine attempts and struck the woodwork once.
