    Raith Rovers 1-0 Dundee Utd

    How easy was that?

    Zak Rudden, on the spin, sends Josh Mullin clean through.

    He decides to hit it early rather than taking another touch and Jack Walton gets down well.

    Josh Mullin shows great technique to volley a cross in, but it's just too high for Rovers striker Lewis Vaughan.

    James Brown is back on.

    He feels good. I knew that he would.

    Sorry.

    Rovers debutant James Brown needs treatment after colliding with Louis Moult.

    That's not far away at all.

    Josh Mullin drills one to the far post, but it rolls just wide.

    Zak Rudden wanted it squared.

    Another one to forget for Louis Moult.

    This one just about clears the stand.

    I'm sure Jim Goodwin will be getting the message to Scott McMann and Glenn Middleton to just keep at it, keep going and attacking.

    If they keep putting the balls into the box, you would expect someone will get on the end of it.

    Waiting for David Wotherspoon to whip a cigar out.

    Another ridiculous pass.

    David Wotherspoon, that's outrageous.

    A stunning pass slices open Rovers but Kai Fotheringham can't get his shot away.

    NBA fans would struggle with the pace of this.

    Louis Moult, you've got to hit the target.

    David Wotherspoon tees one up for the striker in the box, but he skies it over.

    Lewis Vaughan hammers one from a tight angle.

    This time Jack Walton holds it.

    Rovers want a second.

    Here, I think Zak Rudden is probably offside there.

    VAR chat can get in the bin though.

    Enjoy this for what it is.

    Things just burst into life, it was almost like Dundee United were caught unaware.

    It is a wonderful finish to loop it in over Jack Walton.

    It has been a blistering start, the game has been so lively.

    A perfect start for Raith Rovers to get their noses in front.

    GOAL! Raith Rovers 1-0 Dundee Utdpublished at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February

    Zak Rudden

    The on-loan Dundee striker.

    A long throw is headed back to Liam Dick, who curls a beauty of a ball to the front post.

    Zak Rudden's finish matches it, clipped over Jack Walton first time into the far corner.

    This league. This game. Honestly.

    What a goal that would have been.

    The first touch is perfect, the strike is not bad, the reflexes and reactions from Kevin Dabrowski are absolutely brilliant.

    Tony Watt catches it really well, he's probably just too close to the goalkeeper. But take nothing away from Dabrowski because he has to react so quickly to make the save.

    What a move from United.

    It ends with Louis Moult teeing up Tony Watt with a lovely flick.

    Watt boots it from close range but Kevin Dabrowski is down so well to hold it.

    The United striker should probably burst the net though.

    Zuk Rudden pings one from a tight angle and Jack Walton has to beat it away.

    He leathered that at the United keeper.
