Broggio strikes as Falkirk survive late VAR penalty drama | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Falkirk beat Dundee 1-0 in the Scottish Premiership. Ben Broggio struck in the 55th minute with a right-footed finish from the centre of the box. Late on, Dundee won a penalty after Joe Bevan was fouled and VAR confirmed the spot kick, but Yan Dhanda missed in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time. Dundee had more shots on target, four to three, and marginally more possession, yet The Bairns' defence held out. The Bairns stay sixth and host Dundee United next, while Dundee remain 10th and welcome Livingston.

Player of the Match: Broggio decided the contest with the only goal and added two key passes plus nine successful final third passes to knit attacks together.

Stat of the Match: Dundee attempted 30 crosses, connecting on 23.3%, which summed up volume without incision.

Three Things We Learned: The Bairns won 64.0% of their tackles and made 30 clearances. Dylan Tait made five key passes and took four shots, a constant supply line. Nicky Hogarth produced four saves as Dundee's four efforts on target failed to beat him.
