Match Report

TTA report

Ewing and Aberdeen's No 2 clashed just on half-time. Ewing came back on, blood showing through his head bandage. McBride scored from a McParland cut-back but 10-man Aberdeen went 2-1 up before Harvey equalised (set up by McParland, 75). Duffy (82) and McBride (88) finally killed off Aberdeen's brave show.
