Kilmarnock secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Livingston at Rugby Park, strengthening their position at the top of Premier Sports Cup Group H. The win gives them maximum points from two matches, while Livingston now have three points from their two games.
Livingston missed a golden early opportunity when Stevie May broke through on goal, only to be denied by Kilmarnock goalkeeper Max Stryjek. The decisive moment came in the 31st minute when Livingston goalkeeper Jerome Prior's misjudged punch rebounded off his own teammate, Mo Sylla, resulting in an own goal that gave Kilmarnock the lead.
Despite falling behind, Livingston dominated possession and created the majority of chances throughout the match but repeatedly failed to beat Stryjek. Kilmarnock had late opportunities to extend their advantage, but Marley Watkins' shot was saved by Prior and Bruce Anderson headed wide, leaving the final score at 1-0.
Kilmarnock's next match is against Kelty Hearts on Tuesday, while Livingston face Brora Rangers on Saturday in their upcoming group fixtures.
