Livingston 2-2 Dundee: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Livingston 2-2 Dundee in the Premiership on Saturday, 13 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

It finished all square at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with Livingston and Dundee drawing 2-2 in an entertaining clash. Dundee got off to a flyer, taking the lead through Yan Dhanda in the 13th minute before Cameron Congreve doubled their advantage just five minutes later, making it look like they might run away with it after a tough run of recent defeats including losses to Aberdeen and Celtic. Livingston, coming off a string of losses themselves like that 3-0 defeat at Motherwell, stayed in the fight and pulled one back through Jeremy Bokila in the 64th minute, setting up a tense finale.

The hosts kept pushing and equalised late on with Tete Yengi’s goal in the 85th minute, but things got heated towards the end with Ryan McGowan seeing red in stoppage time. This draw halts Livingston’s run of three straight league losses, giving them a bit of breathing room, while Dundee will be gutted to let a two-goal lead slip after finally getting a win against St. Mirren in their previous outings. Overall, it was a game that showed both sides’ resilience, but neither will be fully happy with just a point.

Livingston bossed possession with 65% of the ball compared to Dundee’s 35%, which helped them rack up seven corners while Dundee didn’t manage any, pointing to the hosts’ control in the attacking third. However, Dundee were far more effective on the dribble with 57 successful ones against Livingston’s 14, suggesting they were dangerous on the counter despite less of the ball, and that might explain their early goals. Both sides picked up two yellow cards each, with Livingston also seeing one red, and they recorded two assists to Dundee’s one, underlining some sharper playmaking from the home team.

On the subs front, Livingston made four changes, like Connor McLennan coming on for Joshua Brenet at half-time and Tete Yengi replacing Scott Pittman late on, which seemed to spark their comeback. Dundee used all five, starting with Imari Samuels replacing the injured Ryan Astley early doors, and later swaps like Ethan Ingram for Cameron Congreve that aimed to shore things up as the game wore on.

Dundee struck first blood early on when Yan Dhanda found the net in the 13th minute, quickly followed by Cameron Congreve’s goal five minutes later, assisted by Tony Yogane, putting the visitors in a strong position. Livingston turned the tide in the second half, with Jeremy Bokila pulling one back in the 64th minute thanks to Cristian Montano’s assist, and then Tete Yengi levelled it up at 85 minutes with help from Macaulay Tait, making for a dramatic comeback.

The match heated up late with Robbie Muirhead getting a yellow just after coming on, followed by Connor McLennan’s booking in stoppage time, and Ryan McGowan’s red card right at the death in the 96th minute, which could hurt Livingston going forward. Dundee had their own issues, like Callum Jones picking up a yellow soon after his substitution, but they held on for the draw despite the pressure.

Livingston lined up in a solid 4-2-3-1 shape, which allowed them to build play patiently and dominate possession, with partnerships like Cristian Montano assisting Jeremy Bokila highlighting their threat from the flanks. Key impacts came from players like Tete Yengi, who came on as a sub to grab the equaliser, while Scott Pittman and others provided the midfield engine before changes freshened things up.

Dundee set out in a 4-5-1 formation, packing the midfield to absorb pressure and hit on the break, which paid off early with Yan Dhanda and Cameron Congreve finding the net. Tony Yogane’s assist for Congreve showed their counter-attacking edge, and subs like Imari Samuels stepping in for Ryan Astley helped maintain defensive solidity amid the hosts’ late push.

Coral’s Man of the Match goes to Jon McCracken, who stood out with four crucial saves despite conceding twice, along with a couple of clearances and a punch to keep Dundee in the game. His efforts were vital in holding off Livingston’s second-half dominance, especially as the hosts piled on the pressure, making him the pick in a match full of twists.
