00:00Second half, time to hand back to James McFarren and Arsalan.
00:04Thanks again, Johnners.
00:07It's been an intriguing first half.
00:09Dunfermline definitely on top.
00:12Certainly since that opening goal from Chris Kane went in.
00:16And opportunities to add to that advantage.
00:20But Aidan McAdams on top form to keep Dunfermline at bay beyond that.
00:26So just the one goal in front.
00:31As the sides return to action here.
00:36After the managers have had their 15 minutes.
00:45They are both very much still in this game, in this two-legged affair.
00:51David Gold and his fellow manager Colin Hamilton.
00:58We all feel there is still plenty for them in this game and a half that remain.
01:09They will be hoping to be able to get on the score sheet themselves if at all possible.
01:212-1 winners here earlier in the season, back in December.
01:26A couple of goals from Cavangolo, who was on loan at the time from Livingston.
01:35As they'll both get us back underway.
01:39Let's see what they've got in this second half.
01:48No changes to either line-up at the interval.
01:53Bryan picks out a terrific pass and it's well taken down from Riley.
01:57That is so close to the equaliser right at the start of the second half.
02:02As Duker McIntyre arrived late and got on the end of it.
02:07We've sung the praises of the quality of the fairman, but this is outstanding.
02:10Great switch of play.
02:12He's got his head up, Gavin Riley.
02:15It's unlucky.
02:16McIntyre's a good enough contact, does really well to get it under control.
02:20Fire it across, picks him out brilliantly.
02:24When you're possibly just doing enough, make sure he doesn't get that goal down.
02:35Here's Marshall taking it on.
02:39Pokes it through.
02:40McIntyre forced a little bit wide.
02:43Waits for support.
02:46And dicks it back in.
02:49The fans behind the goals.
02:52Flaming for a handball there.
02:54I didn't see it myself, but certainly the referee didn't.
02:57But Dunferman will come down the other end.
03:00Led by Morrison.
03:05Matty Todds-Bollett, a good one.
03:07And O'Brien with a terrific touch.
03:09Still the danger not over.
03:11Freezer takes it on.
03:14And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:16And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:21And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:29And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:31And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:32And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:33And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:35And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:36And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:41And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:43And O'Brien will come down the other end.
03:47Well, they seem to have got a reaction from their players.
03:51Golden Hamilton at half-time certainly came out and started much better this second half abroad.
03:57Keane tried to link with one of his fellow frontmen there.
04:10Ahmad out to Freezer.
04:14Stuart not buying the dummy.
04:42Ok, just leaving the role behind there.
04:53Ahmad, that's careless from him.
04:57Praised him in the first half but wasn't so good.
05:06Doubt clips it out to the left for Marshall.
05:10Wilkie's in support just behind him.
05:12Here he is.
05:18Marshall gets the head up.
05:22He's got a cup for Cochrane.
05:24Caught that pretty well but the defender in the way.
05:30Bright start to the second half though from the visitors.
05:34Much better from Arbro.
05:36Far more dangerous.
05:40But is that at the risk of leaving themselves a little bit more open?
05:43Andy Torgo down off the ball as he comes out to Morrison.
05:46Big one, big one.
05:47McAdams, he's got to be careful there.
05:49Scoops over the toss bar.
05:55I think that was dropping in, McAdams had to.
05:59Just tipped that over.
06:01Not what he intended.
06:06Not taking any chances, no wonder.
06:10Yeah, that might well have been top corner round.
06:17Mountie Todd in the first opportunity in the second half to...
06:22Swing in the corner.
06:24O'Brien with a terrific header.
06:26Kane, high up in the air.
06:30Thumped clear by Riley.
06:48Thanks for us, terrific distribution.
06:51Good take as well from Morrison.
06:54Kind of spin away here from McIntyre.
06:59Fraser looks to get it back just a little bit too much in the pass.
07:10This was the penalty claim from a few minutes ago that both had.
07:19Not for me.
07:20His arm's down by his side.
07:21It is outstretched initially, but it gets it down by his side.
07:25And it may well hit it, but I couldn't get it any closer on his side.
07:36There's been some good pressure from Marbroath at the start of the second period.
07:42More like what David Gold and Colin Hamilton have been looking for in a positive sense.
07:56The risk of jinxing the rest of the game.
07:59Does feel like there could be more goals in it.
08:03Referees spotted something.
08:05Here's our late challenge in Charlie Gilmore, I think.
08:08As he gets himself back to his feet.
08:10It's overcome at Doppler again.
08:11Who are.
08:25What?
08:26What?
08:30Where do you?
08:33Who are you from the下?
08:36The upside now.
08:36Come on.
08:39The upside now,
08:41I'm not sure he was looking for a foul there, but nothing forthcoming.
08:47He intercepted that one, it's a couple of loose ones from Ahmad at the start of this second half.
08:54Lifted forward as Corcoran gives chase, if he will, to keep that in.
08:59Yeah, Kellis again from Ahmad, he mentioned it out in the last two passes from him being slacked,
09:05after an impressive first half performance.
09:10.
09:29Both get the decision this time.
09:32.
09:50Todd slips that forward for Morrison.
09:54He was pulled back there, but again the referee saw nothing amiss, as Dow picks up.
10:00.
10:05O'Brien right through the middle for Marshall.
10:07Ahmad sticks the toe in though.
10:10O'Brien can only give it straight to Gilmore.
10:13Morrison will collect.
10:17.
10:18.
10:19.
10:19.
10:19.

11:06.
11:06.
11:06.
11:06.
11:06.
11:06.
11:07And again though, reading it never so well, always so accomplished at the back.
11:15Thomas O'Brien, a couple of balls on the pitch and that will have to be sorted out.
11:22They're not getting as much time and space on the ball.
11:24The second half to Fermont, much better than the second half.
11:29There's still a second ball on the pitch, but if we seem to be unaware.
11:37The crowd letting them know.
11:46He's going to be picked up by Fraser, and now Todd, Andy Todd.
11:50Locked off by Watson, Ahmad, over the top.
11:58That's better from Confirma, it's not tidy, it's not neat.
12:04It's a shot at goal.
12:06Just a slightly heavy touch there from Andy Todd.
12:08Ahmad just doesn't get there first, but the goal is rising.
12:21You get to score for Dunferman, Alfonso Ahmad.
12:38to Chris Kuehnick comes Todd.
12:41To Chris Kuehnick comes Todd.
12:44Real good as well.
13:06Wilkie towards Reilly, looks kindly for him, there's Dowd,
13:16back to Flynn, Stewart now, Cochrane, it'll come from McIntyre,
13:32Cochrane fires it in near pose, and it's wasteful in the end from McIntyre.
13:45They're in a good position there as well, work it well, Cochrane does well to create the space,
13:51and I think he's just trying to clip that towards the back post, McIntyre gets it wrong.
14:15Just over 5,000 at East End Park for this one.
14:44For all our bros improvement in this second half, thanks to Notts, but I still do it.
14:51Still been asked, still to be asked to make a save of any great note.
14:59Yeah, you're right Albert, they have looked more threatening than being able to get higher up the pitch,
15:03I think the press has been better, sort of determined having it all their own way.
15:08It's not a surprise because you know how good the both can be.
15:15A couple of balls forward from Flynn, both cut out.
15:42Morrison chasing that one down, but McAdams gets it up towards the halfway line,
15:46well won by Fraser.
15:53Cochrane going back towards his own goal and helped by Watson.
16:05I'm not sure the aerial route for our bros the way to go as Kane puts his head in harm's
16:12way,
16:12might have hit the free kick there to be honest, but gameplay waved on.
16:19It seems that the Dunfermline back three in particular are dealing quite comfortably with balls in the air,
16:25but they might have some more trouble here, and pass just not quite accurate enough for Marshall.
16:34Morrison caught there by O'Brien, will be a free kick to Dunfermline.
16:41He just gets too tight, he just backs in, just didn't get to stop him from turning.
16:52But you're right, I think that we both have gone direct at times and probably suits the physicality,
16:58that Dunfermline side, likewise when they play it in behind the recovery pace is good from Dunfermline,
17:03any kind of joy you feel, he's getting into the feet of Marshall, O'Reilly.
17:22This is just beyond the hour, and you can imagine both benches contemplating changes as Watson just needs a check
17:32here after a double sliding challenge.
17:56I'm mad under pressure, it's good play from Cochrane, yeah.
18:01I think Cochrane's not happy, but I think the referee gets that one, right?
18:05I think Cochrane was then being dragged to the ground, James.
18:07Yeah, I agree. No surprise if Phil's given a toll.
18:25O'Brien again, he goes long and high, and it's mopped up.
18:31Kane, that's slack from him, Wilkie has it, now it's Flynn.
18:37He's put too much on that though.
18:45Gilmore there to stop the danger and that's going to be a yellow cheerle for Ryan Flint.
18:55Circle foul on Kane.
18:59It's brilliant from Kane, great touch, power to drive beyond Flint.
19:03He felt they had no option to bring him down, I think it's the right decision.
19:07Not from the ref, that is clearly the right decision, but from Flint because Dunfermline had the numbers in that
19:14counter-attack there.
19:18Yeah, the 37-year-old legs, I don't think we're going to catch Chris Kane.
19:28I think he's come off second best as well.
19:31That's Flynn, he limps away.
19:38Still just a goal in it then.
19:41Fairman looking to double that goal.
19:47Kane, not a bad effort.
19:51Just off target.
19:54No, it's not, it's a good play again.
19:56Kane releasing Fraser down the left.
19:58He thinks they're getting back.
20:01From the cross, it's blocked.
20:03And he makes his mind up early, Chris Kane.
20:06He knows he's getting out of the control and getting the shot away.
20:09It's not troubling McAdams, but a little glimpse of goal for Dunfermline.
20:14Give him that lift that they're needed for this second half.
20:35Chilliqlion comes out on top there, and a good ball for Callum Morrison.
20:41Again, that's brilliantly read by Tom O'Brien, and then catches Todd.
20:47And there will be a free kick to Dunfermline.
20:55He was so desperate to win the second challenge as well, O'Brien,
21:00but he definitely looked to catch Todd Leighton,
21:04he's taken a sore one, and the referee needs a word here with our growth captain.
21:20Ryan Dow has been spoken to I think for his vehement protests at the award.
21:29I can't come in here for someone, I'm not sure.
21:34I think it's Dow that's going to get it.
21:42Ryan Dow gets the yellow for descent effectively.
21:47Both players slide in along the ground here.
21:50You can see, Tam O'Brien is fully committed,
21:53it looks like he starts to then pull out of it.
21:55The momentum's going to take them into each other.
21:58I slightly understand the frustration of Ryan Dow,
22:00but I do think it is a foul, he's late, Tam O'Brien.
22:09I think Todd recovered in time to take the three-kick though.
22:17And again, O'Brien deals with it.
22:24And Todd, also knocked away by the goal of defence, now Marshall moving forward with some intent.
22:36Still it's Marshall, he's taken down by Ahmad.
22:40And that will be a yellow, and that will be a free-kick in a really dangerous position.
22:45Terrific driving play from young Finlay Marshall.
22:50That's excellent from Finlay Marshall.
22:53The recovery once again from them fairly very good, but not good enough.
22:58He had options, Marshall when he picks it up, and then he's looking, he's waiting, Gavin Riley makes a run.
23:02Great feat to get past Ahmad, and this is a really good position for them.
23:10His full title there, I'm not sure the referee got all those names in his book, but certainly deserved the
23:18yellow for that one.
23:20And this is a big opportunity for our both to get themselves level.
23:27Marshall himself and Jack Wilkie discussing options.
23:37Marshall with the 15 goals to his name, you might consider favourite.
23:42Straight into the wall, though, disappointing.
23:46Cockburn will pick up.
23:51There's Dow.
23:56A free kick that time.
24:00O'Brien, good header back to his goalkeeper.
24:08I don't know if he's just having a look at mine, David, because he's complaining about it.
24:14Felste had a free kick, I think he's got a point.
24:17But he can't keep complaining that the ref, I've been there before myself, take it.
24:21Go away.
24:32O'Brien, confident enough in his own ability.
24:38The assistant on the far side was going to give that throw in, and, in fact, directly he's changed his
24:42mind.
24:45Chris Rea was about to flag in Dunferman's favour, Ryan Lee pointed in her post favour and now he's
24:57actually given the free kick.
25:03Which I think was what the assistant Chris Rea was indicating in the first place, that it was a foul.
25:19They were both definitely thinking about a change and you can see Scott Robinson potentially stripped in there, dug out
25:27over on the far side.
25:32I wouldn't be surprised to see him coming on.
25:39Corcoran, he's been busy in the middle of the park.
25:48It's a good ball out for a down, getting it under control.
25:53Oh, Chilicot Mullen slips, that allows down.
25:55A little bit of time, the keeper does well to get that away from danger, it's still not entirely over.
26:02They're blocked by Ahmad and Kane helps it further out with the danger area.
26:10And then down goes Todd and Dunferman will get the free kick. It's all heartening.
26:16Yes, it is. I mean, first of all, what a pass again from Tam O'Brien, switch of play.
26:23Todd just chasing that down, getting there, just ahead of Stuart.
26:33Not a bit of chaos in that confirming box there, created by Abroath.
26:41They just haven't been able to get that clear-cut opportunity to fully test astronauts where Abroath is,
26:48as much as he had to look lively there to get the punch clear.
26:57Oh, that's a slow one for O'Brien, and he's going to go into the book.
27:02Immediately off at the hand of Abroath, he knew he'd caught Callum Morrison,
27:07and it's a yellow for the Ardworth captain this time.
27:09That looked bad, I have to say. It's a high challenge, he's way late.
27:16It's not a great challenge, I have to say.
27:31It's Robinson who's going to come on.
27:36And it's Ryan Dow, who, as James said, was bickering with the referee,
27:41having already been booked, maybe that was partly in their thinking, the change.
27:53First change of the game then, 71 minutes in, and Ed O'Ferman have this free kick.
28:07Matty Todd sends it in, and that is, my goodness, almost on a play for Chris Kane from Scott Stewart.
28:19Yeah, I mean, I don't think Chris Kane can quite believe that the ball comes to him there.
28:23Tim Scott Stewart, not the Ferman player in sight.
28:27Just beyond his reach.
28:31Yeah, just couldn't quite stretch for it.
28:34Corner kick taken by Todd, Stewart gets the header away this time.
28:40Matty Todd returns it, and Craig Watson took the decision there to take the responsibility with McAdams coming out as
28:50well.
29:02And the Todd for Matty Todd over the switch of three.
29:07Get the better of Wilkie here.
29:10Ryan in the way, another corner.
29:12The home fans sense that might be a second goal in the offing.
29:18Looks like they're setting up for a big finish here, Ed O'Ferman.
29:34.
29:34.
29:39Andy Todd, Stewart gets his head to it.
29:45Another big switch from Andy Todd.
29:49Andy Todd looks like he's maybe overcooked that one, yeah.
29:54Disappointed with himself, his deliveries generally have been very good.
30:04I'm surprised he's not looked to his bench as yet, James.
30:08Yeah, I think the second half has been a bit below the first half performance,
30:12so I'm surprised he hasn't looked to try and freshen it up.
30:15I have to say, the last few minutes, they've certainly seen more look themselves than Ferman.
30:22Jack Wilkie needing a bit of treatment here.
30:39Just waiting for news of Jack Wilkie before they decide whether another change is required at the moment.
30:48David Gold waiting for that information.
30:54How satisfied or otherwise do you think he and Colin Hamilton will be overall,
30:58the way things are going in the game?
31:01Yeah, I think they'll be happy enough.
31:03First half, they're firmly with a better side.
31:05I think they've come out much better in the second half.
31:09I'm sure that all they want to do is keep this alive.
31:12get back to Gayfield and give themselves a chance.
31:17Look, there's still time in this game to go and get an equaliser potentially,
31:20going to win the game, but I think he'll be happy with the second half than he was the first.
31:28Look, he's back on as the game resumes.
31:31Quarter of an hour remaining.
31:34Still just the one goal in it.
31:40I think it's been every bit as hard fought and closely fought as most people anticipated.
31:55And you'd imagine the same will be the case on Friday in the second leg,
32:00live here on the BBC Scotland channel.
32:02Quarter past seven, start, half seven kick-off.
32:07Looking forward to it already.
32:11As Robinson tries to get himself involved.
32:31Matty Todd's done well.
32:34Can't get beyond Wilkie though.
32:36Ahmad had to go through the back of Riley there.
32:39Just need to be careful already in the book.
32:44Not suggesting that was worthy of a second yellow,
32:46but you don't get away with too many once you're in the referee's notebook.
32:51He's just experiencing Gavin Riley there,
32:55getting his body across, making sure that he's protecting the ball.
32:58Ahmad just goes straight through him, but you're right.
33:01These fouls all add up.
33:11Offside flags up here.
33:22Aberdeen, sorry, Aberdeen.
33:24Aberdeen, sorry, Aberdeen.
33:25They've gone pretty, you know, score-optimal.
33:28He's dropping deep just now, but they were almost playing with four up
33:30when they were in possession there for a moment or two.
33:34Pretty attacking at this stage of the game for the first leg.
33:40Cochrane has it.
33:41He's done well again.
33:43Gets it out to Stewart.
33:45Now into Riley.
33:46Tries to slip away from Abdoulaye.
33:48Now it's Flynn.
33:51Marshall teases it in.
33:53Abdoulaye gets his head to it once more.
33:55Gilmore takes control.
33:57Knocks it away.
34:00How you like for a penalty there, but the ball was clear.
34:23You mentioned Robinson, he's playing up alongside Riley when Abroff have the ball,
34:28and dropping in on midfield when they don't.
34:31Riley will do the same.
34:32They will split between each other and doing that.
34:36It's to give them a chance to go and get a goal.
34:38And you've got two experienced campaigners there that know exactly what they're doing.
34:45As you can see, Dunfermline are about to make some changes.
34:49John Todd there is going to come on, and Josh Cooper will be the other replacement.
35:08O'Brien.
35:12A break here for McIntyre.
35:16Looking to get the better of Fraser, he's done well, Jacob McIntyre, and then he goes down.
35:22And it's just outside the box.
35:25Yellow card now for Robbie Fraser.
35:27Terrific play there from Jacob McIntyre.
35:34Excellent from McIntyre.
35:37Gets beyond Fraser, who does pull him back, and he's just desperate to try and get into the box.
35:42Get his side a penalty, but I think that's a good call for the referee.
35:49Yeah, he certainly lets goal in time, doesn't he, Robbie Fraser?
35:53We know that pulling, if it continues into the box, would be a penalty.
36:09It was a terrific driving play from the young man on loan from Hibbs.
36:18Good energy late in the game.
36:28Those changes are going to be made before the free kick's taken as Callum Morrison makes way.
36:43John Todd comes on, and Ahmad's the other player.
36:53number 14, Alphonse Mlad.
36:56Number 38, Callum Morrison.
36:59Number 31, John Todd.
37:01Number 33, Josh Krupal.
37:08OK, Wilkie then, over this free kick, what can our both make of it?
37:16A few players inside the six-yard box,
37:23making sure they understand exactly what is expected of them and allowed.
37:29Larry Cochrane's completely isolated at the edge of the box.
37:33Andy Todd is poised to spring out, it's come right in,
37:38and it's well defended by Chilicoa Mullan.
37:44And still, Manchester Oxford up,
37:47has not really been tested in that Dunfermline goal.
37:54Try as they might, that's our both side.
38:02Still in play, Mark Shaw trying to get it back to Wilkie,
38:06that's a slightly dubious challenge I thought from Abdullahi,
38:11there was a little bit of two-footedness about it,
38:14and Dunfermline have been allowed to break,
38:16and Kane can't pick the pass for Cooper.
38:24I feel like he's got into midfield in the wake of those two changes,
38:28but I'm not sure about his tackle, James, what about you?
38:31Yeah, that looked pretty strong, I don't know if he actually just slips in,
38:37and gets the contact actually with the knee rather than the foot.
38:42Yeah, I mean his foot stuck sticks in the round there,
38:45I expected a fill to be given.
38:54Maybe more clumsy than anything else in the end.
38:59From Abdullahi, who has, as I say, moved further forward with John Todd,
39:04slotting into the back three.
39:10And Abdullahi have got a free kick,
39:12and they've got about seven and a half minutes,
39:13plus I read on time to get a goal back here.
39:19But as I've been saying, certainly 1-0 is certainly not beyond them at that stage
39:26if they take it back to Keyfield.
39:27Absolutely.
39:29I think it's special when you look at the first half in the conferment,
39:32very bright, look dangerous, probably could have.
39:36should have been further ahead.
39:40The reaction's been decent.
39:41You know, as you said, they haven't managed to test really the Aston Oxburn goal.
39:45I think that's credit to the Fernand defenders as well,
39:48because if they ever have got in behind or get the cross in,
39:51they've managed to get the blocks in.
39:57Abdull still plugging away.
40:01Robinson might be in here,
40:03gives it back to Reilly, chance here,
40:05and still they can't get the shot off.
40:10At some stage, you just need to pull the trigger at times, don't you?
40:13Yeah, I thought that first time.
40:15Get your shot away, you look at the goal,
40:19and it's deciding the game so far.
40:20Chris Cain just gets his shot away early,
40:22doesn't allow anyone to set,
40:24get the block in.
40:24I know he threw one-on-one, if you like,
40:27but in that one there, Gavin Reilly,
40:29he's got to just fire that away first time.
40:36Hooping it out to Matic Todd,
40:41into Cain,
40:43plays it back to Gilmore,
40:44Cain wants more,
40:45on the way through,
40:46comes Abdullai,
40:48that's been out for a...
40:49Oh!
40:50I'm sure that's going to be a corner,
40:54but most of the rest of East End Park were as well.
41:01Not Ryan Lee.
41:03He's convinced.
41:11I don't know,
41:12I thought it was a corner kick,
41:14I don't know what he's seen there.
41:26Well, he said pre-match,
41:27Neil Lennon that he didn't think
41:29this game would decide the tie necessarily,
41:33and both games could go either way.
41:44And Felna will certainly take encouragement
41:47from the fact that they've already won 5-0 up at Gayfield.
41:53Back in September,
41:54they're looking to add to their advantage here this evening as well,
41:57but it's Andy Todd,
41:59and McAdams comes up with another good save,
42:02to deny a young forward.
42:07Yeah, he does well,
42:08Andy Todd in the break,
42:10looks like it's going to play out to Matty Todd,
42:13trying to put the disguise on it,
42:15decent enough strike.
42:18Good area for McAdams,
42:20a good save though.
42:33Andy Todd lining up,
42:36another corner kick.
42:39Good ball, but it's well defended.
42:44Watson thumps it clear.
42:48Fraser will go all the way back to his goalkeeper.
42:56Chris Cain claiming he was being dragged to the ground,
43:00referees basically saying you're both at it,
43:03him and Ryan Flint.
43:06home fans letting you know what they think about it.
43:13McIntyre on the chase,
43:14but he's giving it straight to Cochrane,
43:17now it's Robinson into the feet of Martial,
43:20can he get spun away from his marker?
43:22No, he can't.
43:34I think all we can say with some certainty is,
43:37if it finishes like this,
43:39it's setting up some game on Friday night.
43:44Could be a real cracker up at Gayfield,
43:47this one's been so hotly contested.
43:51And Friday surely will be even more so
43:54than Chris Cain,
43:55who's about to make way for
43:58Archon Oakley Booth.
44:03Looks like he'll be the match-winner tonight.
44:08That's a good goal he scored,
44:09probably could have had at least one more, Chris Cain.
44:40I think Oakley Booth is going to play up where
44:43Tis Cain was,
44:46I was going to say,
44:48looks like a slightly more conservative change from Neil Lennon,
44:53but Booth has gone into an attacking area
44:56as Robbie Fraser's penalised,
44:59and again he's a player that's been yellow carded already,
45:02the referee thought that was a foul,
45:04then he must have been thinking whether it was worth a second yellow,
45:09but I'm sure it was a free kick at all, but...
45:13That's...
45:13Half turn for Riley, who looked like he may have been offside,
45:35but Marshall could be in here.
45:37Marshall in the last Oxborough
45:38is forced into a save, and it's a good one,
45:41and an important one.
45:42To Gibry's side in front,
45:4789 minutes at last.
45:52And now Dunferman come,
45:56looking to make our both pay for that missed opportunity.
46:01It's Oakley Booth.
46:06Cooper back to Chilicore Mullan,
46:09swings it in,
46:11away by Cooper, and now it's Robinson.
46:17That's a big save for Madison Oxford, I have to say,
46:20looked like he was offside,
46:21but Oxford doing his job, finally called into action.
46:33Todd gets his head to that one,
46:35on by Abdullahi.
46:39Flynn forces it forward,
46:41Womson back to Flynn.
46:43Four minutes added on as McIntyre swings it in.
46:57Wilkie's ball in,
46:59cushioned there by Womson at the edge of the box,
47:01now it's Flynn.
47:05McIntyre just looking to play that into an area,
47:08Guenia with an important header,
47:10and then headed behind by Jacob McIntyre.
47:14We thought the fast finish would be from Dunferling,
47:17but it's Abro that will go on pushing for that equaliser.
47:22Bryant against really good defending.
47:25Turned that back to McAdams,
47:28under pressure for Todd.
47:49He's going to be able to hold.
48:15Will Dunfermline be happy enough for this scoreline, James, taking it to Gayfield?
48:20Yeah, they're winning if it stays the same, then of course I think that would have been the first aim.
48:29Obviously Mennon liked to have won but more goals, but I think taking any kind of advantage is exactly what
48:34he was looking for.
48:36They really have that advantage, Arbroath hoping to make something happen here.
48:43He's going to call him a good challenge and he's actually won the thrower himself.
48:50He's got that one spot on, the referee.
48:53That's come back off Jack Welke.
48:55What about man of the match, James, just a couple of minutes of stoppage time left?
48:59Well, I've gone for Andy Todd.
49:01Andy Todd's work rate has been phenomenal, he's shown real quality throughout the game, and what he does for the
49:08goal is absolutely outstanding.
49:10So tonight the man of the match is Andy Todd.
49:17Yeah, certainly a few candidates but Andy Todd with the ball through for the opening goal and generally has been
49:26up to his usual standard basically.
49:31Another young player in Dunfermline colours who's got a career ahead of him you feel.
49:43I just think the second leg of this could be really tasty on Friday night.
49:49You can see it's so competitive out there.
49:59I mean it's everything we thought it was going to be competitive, two teams that don't know when they're beating.
50:04Obviously they're firming ahead but Arbroath know they're always going to make it difficult for you, a difficult team to
50:09put away.
50:11There's always going to be decided over two legs.
50:21And there's Abdullahi from Fernland looking for a second goal in the dying embers of the game.
50:28Not a pass like that.
50:35No time for the throw in, it's full time.
50:38But it's really only half time.
50:41But Chris Kane's goal gives Dunfermline the advantage going into the second leg on Friday night.
50:49Finally taking an early strike in this play-off quarter-final first leg.
50:56Arbroath, they're industrious throughout.
51:00It wasn't really until the closing stages that they did test Ashton Oxborough.
51:05Who was up to the task and kept his side in front.
51:10Dunfermline had other opportunities in Aidan McAdams in the Arbroath goal.
51:15Had a really good game to ensure that their lead is not a more handsome one.
51:20Going into that second leg up at Gay Fields.
51:24Which as I say promises to be a thoroughly exciting affair.
51:30Don't you miss it.
51:32Join us on Friday right here on the BBC Scotland channel for more of the same.
51:37But tonight, it finishes Dunfermline one and both nil.
51:42I will get to the end of it.
