The pitch passed a inspection at 9am, and for us Dundee fans we were so happy that it did. In a day where we came back from 2 goals down, in a stunning second half fightback to win the ga
me 3-2. The game started in an open fashion and a Leigh Griffiths cross was headed behind for the game's first corner after only two minutes. Inverness also started brightly and they were inches away from taking the lead in their first attack. A 40-yard Grant Munro pass released Jonny Hayes on the right and his pass across the goalmouth was begging to be put in, however Richie Foran could only find the side-netting. As the game continued to swing from end to end, goalkeeper Ryan Esson saved a Sean Higgins header and Inverness' Spanish striker Danni Sanchez rattled the bar after Adam Rooney had cut the ball back from the bye-line.The goal the fans deserved came when Caley Thistle edged ahead on 20 minutes, when Hayes crossed from the right and Rooney darted in to head home from seven yards.In 32 minutes Sanchez let fly and his goalbound shot was deflected wide, however the second goal was only delayed. Hayes swung over the kick from the right and as Dundee struggled to clear Foran headed towards goal and Nauris Bulvitis stuck out a foot to flick the ball home.As Inverness looked for a killer goal, 
Rooney and Golabek went close before the half-time whistle blew and Scott's side left the field to a chorus of boos from their large travelling support in the crowd of 8,031.However, Dundee had their fans back on board three minutes after the restart as they reduced the deficit when Harkins fed Richie Hart on the right and his cross was turned in by a combination of the head of striker Higgins and the unfortunate Latvian Bulvitis.The game was turned on its head on 52 minutes when Dundee levelled. Esson spilled a shot from Forsyth and Harkins was on to it in a flash to fire the ball home from six yards out.we had some real good chances and I thought Leigh Griffiths was going to score but overtouched the ball when rounding Esson. Dundee's transformation into cup winners was completed seven minutes from time when Harkins got to the right touchline and cut th
e b
all back to Forsyth, who was standing on his own eight yards out and he powered a first-time, right-foot shot home. Inverness substitute Dougie Imrie was dismissed less than two minutes after coming on as he halted a break from Dundee substitute Pat Clarke, who had been on the field even less time, with a crude challenge.Dundee: Douglas, Paton (Benedictis 73), Malone, Kerr, MacKenzie, Lauchlan, Forsyth, Hart, Griffiths (Clarke 90), Higgins (McMenamin 65), Harkins. Unused subs: Cameron, Soutar.
