Dundee 2, Brechin City 0, Betfred Cup, Dens Park, 28-July-18

Dundee progressed to the next stages of the Betfred Cup with a 2-0 win over Brechin City on Saturday. Only one change to the team which finished the game at Peterhead, Craig Wighton coming in for Sofien Moussa. 

Dundee scored on 10 minutes with a delightful goal from midfielder Lewis Spence who chipped a beauty into the net beating the keeper and two defenders. 

Dundee had most of the game and only some great saves by Conor Brennan in the Brechin goal kept it at 1-0. Early in the second half  Paul McGowan settled the game with a clever finish which left the keeper helpless for once. 

With the other scores tonight Dunfermline win the Group, and Dundee finish second with 9 points. The draw will be on Sunday after the Hearts v Inverness CT game.

Dundee: Parish, Curran, Caulker, Meekings, Kerr (c), Spence, McGowan, Madianga, Ngwatala, (Ralph 72), Mendy, Wighton. Unused Subs: Hamilton, O’Dea, Jefferies, Scott, Henvey, Lambert.
