Second half and a more positive Falkirk came out and took the game to their hosts, but found Rab Douglas in good form. Dundee still looked dangerous and should have had a penalty when Higgins was held and pushed in the box but ref Winters waved it away. Falkirk did score after a good move put Stewart through and he scored with ease. Before Dundee could compose themselves the bairns were level when Stewart headed home pass Douglas to level the game.
Dundee sent Witteveem on for Higgins and he nearly put Dundee ahead but the Falkirk keeper saved well. But soon after after a Riley headed down to Griffiths whose came back off the post and Witteveen prodded home to spark wild celebrations from the Dundee fans. But with just 7minutes left to hold out, back came Falkirk to level again from the penalty spot when McKeown was adjusted to foul Deuchar and up stepped Miller to score to level again. The game ended that way , but was a great game of football plenty goals action saves what you play your money for.
