Manager John Brown made one change Gary Irvine coming in for Matt Lockwood. Luckily the rain had stopped and it a very nice day now for some football. Dundee started brightly with Jim McAlister making good runs and Conroy was unlucky when his effort was blocked. But as Alloa got organised by picking up McAlister Dundee struggled to break down the wasps defence who were now dangerous on the break. In fact Letheren had to look smart a couple of times to keep it at 0-0. Dundee's best chance before half-time was went Gary Irvine force their keeper to tip over from his overhead effort.
Second half and things did not get much better as the home side struggled with a lack of play down the wings. Only at corner did Dundee look like scoring. Brown made changes with Boyle and Doris coming on for Conroy and Monti. Boyle did come close to scoring but his shot was well saved by the Alloa keeper and the follow up was blocked. Jamie Reid came on for McDonald as Dundee went for the three points. Dundee did look better with this formation and as Alloa looked to run down the clock the Referee pointed to the spot after Doris was fouled. Up stepped Kevin McBride blasted the kick home to give Dundee all three points.
Very hard on a hard working Alloa team who fully deserved a point.
Dundee: letheren, Irvine, Davidson, McBride, MacDonald, Rae, Conroy, Monti, Benedictus, Gallagher, McAlister. Subs: Lockwood, Dyer, Doris, Reid, Boyle, Wighton.
