Rhys McCabe's men netted twice in the final five minutes to consign Dumbarton a second straight League Cup defeat, but boss Stevie Farrell had plenty to be positive about.
Airdrieonians scored twice in the final six minutes to consign Dumbarton to defeat in a crazy clash at The Rock.
Both sides’ attacking intent was clear from the off as Airdrie’s Cameron Bruce had an effort cleared off the line before Finlay Gray and Matty Shiels both went close for Sons. Sons should’ve regained the lead just before half-time as a flowing move sent Carlo Pignatiello in on goal, but Wright saved well with his legs.Just four minutes had been played when Kalvin Orsi’s deep cross was nodded back to David Wilson by Craig McGuffie, with Jinky Hilton on hand to scoop into the net after Wright had clawed away Wilson’s effort.Orsi’s cross struck the hand of Dylan MacDonald in the area, with Hilton dispatching his second of the afternoon from 12 yards.
The ball broke to substitute Rhys Armstrong on the edge of the box, and his low half-volley curled into the bottom corner.First Niang flashed a header wide from McGuffie’s corner, before Ruth slipped at the crucial moment after a swift counter attack saw Kalvin Orsi roll the ball across goal for the striker to touch into the net.
