Bert Esselink makes a complete mess of an attempted clearance, totally missing the ball, and Graeme Shinnie is in at a tight angle.

But Dave Richards is out sharp to save and the resulting corner comes to nothing.

Vicko Sevelj has recovered from his whiplash and is back on the pitch now.

Vicko Sevelj is rolling around on the turf holding his back.

The replay shows Jesper Karlsson barged into him late. Quite naughty, that.

For the final time tonight...

Aberdeen have dominated the centre of the park.

But their fans have been left frustrated by their lack of penetration in the final third.

It is a good finish by Fatah, after having done nothing before then.

You'll catch all of today's goals, including the action from Pittodrie, on Sportscene later.

The BBC Scotland channel in about half an hour is where you need to be.

If not, you'll find a repeat on the iPlayer later.

Aberdeen have had nearly 77% possession in this first half, but the only statistic that matters is that Dundee United have the lead.

The visitors have executed their game plan perfectly.

They have kept their shape and defended well, and taken their chances - or chance - when it came along,

The Dons haven't enjoyed much in the way of dynamic possession, and that is reflected by the fact the United keeper has not been called into action all that often.

They need to find a way of unlocking a resolute United after the break, while Jim Goodwin will want more of the same from his players.

Some boos ring around Pittodrie as Aberdeen go down the tunnel behind.

Amar Fatah's goal is the difference.

United spring on a loose pass and charge up field, but Topi Keskinen gets across to make a challenge.

The following throw from the visitors is eventually launched clear by Aberdeen, who can't make anything of their counter-attack opportunity.

It's been a real struggle for the Dons.

The quality to break down this United defence just isn't there.

Aberdeen have had 76% possession. Quite wild, that.

Max Watters threatens to make something of a counter-attack, but the big United striker loses possession and clatters into Dante Polvara. Foul.

Dundee United have a record of W2, D4, L0 when scoring the opening goal in the Premiership this season.

Jimmy Thelin will be concerned with the amount of possession his side have had and the few opportunities they have created.

Aberdeen have a record of W1, D1, L7 when conceding the opening goal in the Premiership this season.

It will be intriguing to see how Aberdeen respond to that goal.

They were showing promising signs, but that moment could serve as a psychological blow.

Michael Stewart
Former Scotland midfielder on Premier Sports

That's the classic sucker punch after soaking up so much pressure.

This front three of United can do that.

He shows great composure to pass it into the far corner.

It is a big mistake from Nicky Devlin.

Willie Miller
Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound

That's incredible.

Jack Milne just needs to show Fatah down the line.

It's quite an easy chance for him to shoot.
