Some good football from Dundee however Albion continue their dominance overall.

Liversedge again poses as a threat to Dundee as he wins Albion a corner.

Dundee look threataning on the break however Albion regain possession which Dundee defend well.

25 minutes in and Albion come close again forcing another great save.

As the game continues, Chris Liversedge continues to impress.

There is a great run from Albion's Devin Kennedy-Colburt.

Some impressive stuff from Dundee's Lee Cameron but unfortunately Dundee cannot keep possession.

Dundee improve as they apply some pressure – proving they are not out of the game yet as a good effort hits the woodwork. Unlucky for Dundee.


PENALTY
9 minutes into the second half and Dundee are awarded a penalty. There are appeals for a sending off – however the referee dismisses them and points to the spot.

Calvin Colquoun steps up and Albions stopper Stuart Miler saves – the rebound is shot wide.

You have to feel for Dundee as you feel nothing is going their way despite having looked threataning.

Dundee come close again as they press for that goal that could make a dofference to their game.

Albion make a change with Connor Kelly making his way for Ray Gordon.

Dundee are playing much better 25 minutes into the second half.

The game turns into somewhat a midfield battle for possession.

Devin Kennedy-Colbert makes sure it is a very good evening for Albion by adding their 4th almost right before the full time whistle goes.
