Manager James McPake made three changes Josh Meekings and Declan McDaid returned to the side, and Josh Mulligan startred his first game for the club. Jordan McGhee and Craig Curran were on the bench and Jamie Ness was unavailable due to injury.
Dundee got off to a slow start and struggled to get the ball forward quick enough. Derek Lyle came close for the visitors and Jack Hamilton had to push a effort over the bar as Peterhead were the better side in the first half.
Second half was slightly better but Dundee never really make the Peterhead keeper make any saves, with only a Byrne and Nelson efforts which were both just wide of the target.
Jack Hamilton made a good save to deny Peterhead all three points near the end. The game went to Penalties again Dundee won the extra point winning 4-2. Dundee went first with McDaid's effort saved by the keeper, Gibson scored, Curran scored, Leith put his over the bar, Cunningham and Nelson scored, Smith scored his. Stevenson hit the bar with his leaving McGowan to score to win it
for the Dens men.
It might prove to be a vital point for the dark blues and one that might make them get through to the next stage of the Betfred Cup. Myself I though the whole team struggled mainly and hopefully they will be better the next time I see them at East End Park a week on Friday. The squad still looks a bit weak and hopefully James McPake can get the players which we need.
Dundee: Hamilton, Kerr, Forster, Meekings , Marshall, Robertson, Byrne (Cunningham 75), Mulligan (Curran 62), McGowan, McDaid, Nelson. Unused Subs: Ferrie, McGhee, Strachan, Anderson, Fisher
