Dundee were slightly the better side with Nicky Riley causing the home defence some problems, but soon after Dundee took the lead when the referee pointed to the spot after a needless handball from the bairns defender. Ryan Conroy scored with ease sending the keeper the wrong way. A couple of minutes later Falkirk thought they had scored but thankfully the linesman had his flag for offside. Then Iain Davidson had to be alert after Garry Irvine had nearly headed home a own goal when their was no danger. Falkirk had a great chance just before half-time when they broke clear but Letheren pulled off two great save to deny the Falkirk striker who looked certain to score.
Second half and things as a game did not get any better has Dundee struggled to pass the ball around, they did have a break away but sloppy passing and the chance was gone. Manager John Brown took off Wighton and put on McBride to try and shut up shop and protect our 1-0 lead. Kyle Letheren again saved the dark Blues with a great save tipping the ball round the post. Dundee continued to struggle and Falkirk looked certain to score again but the striker shot high and over the ball when it looked easier to hit the net. Carlo Monti came on for Riley but deep into injury time and the Bairns drew level with a lucky goal the ball coming off the face of Leahy and spun past Letheren to earn the visitors a draw.
