There was much disappointment with the single point from this match since Dunfermline had the best chance of the game when Efe Ambrose, on his home debut, hit the crossbar in the second half.
The game would finish without a goal and the point enough to keep the Pars ahead of Queen of the South. Dunfermline thwarted Kilmarnock’s efforts to win three games in a row but with both sides seeking three points, a point a piece was probably the right result.
