It was a disappointing first-half showing from Kilmarnock, far from what they showed last week.
There was little composure on the ball – which led to little time on the ball – and little composure off it. The Cercle goal was entirely preventable and there were a few more chances that Kilmarnock offered up freely.
However, the hosts failed to properly punish Kilmarnock and there was a spell in the second half where it seemed the visitors would force a goal.
But there was no composure in the box, either. Findlay and Watkins both fluffed chances in the second half that should have rippled the net and when those chances were not converted, the hope diminished.
