Aberdeen's second-half demolition of Dumbarton secured their progression to the last 16 of the Scottish League Cup and maintained their 100% record in Group A.
The Pittodrie support were disgruntled with the first half showing from Jimmy Thelin's side, but they were soon delighted by six goals after the break.
Defender Jack MacKenzie slotted home a minute after the restart before Ester Sokler netted a double.
A late flurry of first goals for the club from Peter Ambrose, James McGarry and Slobodan Rubezic added gloss to the scoreline and take Aberdeen's goal tally to 15 across the four games.
They only conceded the one, against Aidrieonians and Thelin's side will be seeded in Sunday's draw, which takes place following Motherwell's encounter with Partick Thistle (15:00).
