GOAL DUNDEE UNITED 2-1 Ayr Unitedpublished at 18:42 British Summer Time 20 July
Brandon Forbes
What. a. goal.
It's an absolutely ridiculous strike, Brandon Forbes' has a go straight from his free-kick.
It's 25 yards out, there were plenty of orange shirts in the box, but he absolutely rifles it into the roof of the net.

Up the other end goes Marco Rus and it's almost an exact copy of his equaliser but he just drags it wide.

Will Ferry is furious with referee Kevin Clancy.
The referee has awarded a free-kick for his challenge on Jay Henderson, looked like a decent enough challenge though.
