Greenock Morton 0-1 Dunfermline Athletic: Deniz Mehmet's late penalty save lifts visitors above hosts

Deniz Mehmet's late penalty save secured Dunfermline Athletic a victory that lifts them above hosts Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship.

On-loan Livingston defender Miles Welch-Hayes headed Dunfermline Athletic ahead 10 minutes after the break from a Kane Ritchie-Hosler corner.

As Morton piled on the pressure after the break, Jai Quitongo drew a foul from Ewan Otoo with six minutes left.

However, Mehmet pushed away Robbie Muirhead's spot kick.
