Dundee started well with a strong team with a mix of youngsters on the bench. Early on Cammy Kerr and Zak Rudden went close to score.
Dundee did take the lead when a good pass from Luke McCowan put Scott Tiffoney clear and he scored with ease. That was after 19 minutes and they had chance before Scott Tiffoney scored his second goal shooting home when wide out on the right, he could have had his hat-trick soon after that but the Brechin keeper made a great save.
Brechin in this period had a couple of shots but failed to score. Then right on halftime it was 0-3 when Max Anderson scored with a cracking curled finish after a good flick that put Max clear.
Dundee made four substitutions at half time. Harry Sharp came on in goal, Jack Wilkie replaced Lee Ashcroft in central defence, and Shaun Byrne and Finlay Robertson came into the midfield to replace Max Anderson and Josh Mulligan.
Wilkie came close to a goal from a corner when he powered a header a foot over the bar. Rudden shot narrowly over after good work on the left from Tiffoney as Dundee continued to dominate.
On the hour mark the Dee made six further substitutions sending on youngsters to replace all the senior players who had started, with the exception of trialist Jacob Jones.
Brechin pulled a goal back soon after when Ewan Loudan netted after Sharp had saved. Dundee recovered and scored to make it 4-1 with trialist Jacob Jones scored with a neat shot from a free kick. Soon after Finlay Allan made the final score 5-1.
A good work out for the squad and it was my biggest win against Brechin City either home or away.
