Game of the season in Premiership's opening weekend?

In an unexpected turn of events during the Premiership's opening weekend, St Johnstone emerged victorious in a dramatic 4-3 win over Kilmarnock. Former Killie striker Kris Boyd, who predicted the match would be "St Johnstone doing much," had no idea what lay ahead as the scorecard drastically shifted and seven goals were scored in ninety breathless minutes.

Simo Valakari's St Johnstone secured all three points, despite playing a more defensive style following their loss in the League Cup group stage. Kilmarnock, on the other hand, kept four clean sheets, which Kilmarnock fans were not happy with, as they had expectations of a more attacking approach. The game, labeled by BBC Sportsound pundit Allan Preston as "an early contender for game of the season," showcased the unpredictability and excitement of football.
