Alloa Athletic 1 – 1 Arbroath (Arbroath win 6-5 on penalties)
Arbroath won a penalty shoot out tonight against Alloa Athletic to secure 2 points in Betfred Group D.
Arbroath had led for much of the game thanks to a brilliant Blair Yule header in the 16th minute after he connected to a David Gold cross.
However the Lichties seemed to tire in the second half and Alloa equalised in the 89th minute through Frank McKeown.
This forced the game into a penalty shoot out for a bonus point.
Doris, Whatley, Yule, Hester, Little and Gold scored from the spot with Malin hitting the bar and Ricky Gomes saving from Renton and Grant to give the Lichties 2 points
A special mention has to go out to our Goalkeeper Ricky Gomes who despite taking a heavy facial knock late in the second half went on to be our penalty shoot out star saving two penalties to give Arbroath the bonus point against Alloa Athletic.
