  1. Raith Rovers 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    Dario Zanatta is again twisting and turning down the left but no-one latches onto his dangerous cross.

    The troublesome winger is having a ball out there.

  2. Pars slowly getting into the game

    Raith Rovers 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    The home side are still dominating, but Dunfermline are growing into the game.

    Forward Reece Cole tries an audacious effort on the edge of the box that just doesn't dip in time.

    But the hosts aren't getting it all their own way and we have a game on our hands here.

  3. Getting in the groove

    Raith Rovers 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    First real chance for Dunfermline. On-loan Rangers winger Kai Kennedy puts a cross into the box that forces a corner, but nothing comes of it.

    Immediately up the other end, Aidan Connolly tees up Brad Spencer perfectly, but he fails to keep his effort on target.

  4. Raith Rovers 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    Liam Dick and Dario Zanatta are finding so much joy down the left flank for the hosts. A long night in store for Aaron Comrie, me thinks.

  5. Raith Rovers 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    Debutant Mark Connolly is still giving Nikolay Todorov an earful for his lack of tracking back in the lead up to Dario Zanatta's goal.

    Making his presence known early doors.
