Dumbarton (bottom=) took the lead on the half-hour but Sharp equalised 2 minutes before half-time. Thistle lost Curran to injury in the second half and got no breaks at all. When Dumbarton scored 4 minutes from time it was completely against the run of play and there was no way back for the ten men. Down to 11th.
