Second half and Raith took control of the game and pushed Dundee back. It was no surprize when they scored when Murray headed home from a corner, they went for the killer second goal and came close a few times. With good defending kept them out. Dundee changed things and Neil McCann came on to replace Stewart and play up front, with Harkins moving back to midfield. It did the trick as Dundee looked more comfy. Craig McKeown then came close with a fierce low drive from 25 yards that shaved the outside of the post. Raith looked comfy and made changes to maybe sit on what they had.
Then with 6-7 minutes to go Dundee won a freekick about 30 yards out up stepped captain Gary Harkins to score with a wonder strike right in the top corner to level the match at 1-1 to send the Dundee fans wild. This really changed the flow of the game as Dundee pushed for the winner, and it came deep into injury time when after a pass back from a Raith player to his keeper was punished. From it Rovers cleared to give away a corner which Forsyth took, it was cleared as far as Lockwood who's high cross was headed down by Forsyth to Neil McCann who spun to hook the ball high towards the goal, it dipped enought to go just under the bar and into the net to send Dens Park crazy. Neil McCann ran towards the south enclosure to celebrate, and was mobbed by his team mates.
Raith had only time to kick off before the the final whistle was blown, what a feeling that was with Dundee fans still singing dancing it was a great comeback to keep our home record going.
