Aberdeen levelled in 17 minutes when good play from McGinn and his cross was turned into his own net by Konrad, it was a blow but it was a even cup tie with both teams having a go and playing good football. Dundee could have had a penalty when Boyle looked to be fouled then Stewart blasted over when the young striker was in a good position. Then Scott Bain pulled off a superb save from a Rooney header which looked to be going in.
The second half and Aberdeen took control and only some good goal keeping from Scott Bain kept Aberdeen at bay with Rooney and McGinn missing good chances as the game wore on it looked like it was heading for a replay at Pittodrie. Then with minutes remaining a long ball from Irvine into the box found Clarkson who headed on to McPake and his great header down found David Clarkson who scored with a low drive across the keeper to send Dens Park wild. But The Dons would have one more chance and it took a great save from Bain to touch a McGinn shot which hit the underside of the bar and the ball was cleared on the line with the Aberdeen fans claiming a goal. Son after and the referee blew for time up and made the Dundee fans happy going home.
Not the best performance but will take the result any day as we have suffered in the past in cup games. The players gave their all and can't fault them today.
Dundee: Bain, McGinn (Dyer 73), Irvine, Konrad, McPake, Thomson, McAlister, Boyle (Tankulic 84), Harkins (Ferry 73), Stewart, Clarkson. Subs Not Used: Schenk, McBride, Black and Roberts.
