After several late Pars corners that kept the crowd from leaving, there was to be an 88th minute penalty. Connolly was taken down as he tried to round his man on the left side of the box. HIGGINBOTHAM stepped up to dispatch the ball into the right side of the goal for 2-0.
Andy RYAN came on and Myles Hippolyte went off to a standing ovation before the game restarted. In the third minute of time added on, the sub carved himself a goal, bursting through into the left side of the Peterhead box before crashing his shot into the top right.

Recent Form
Dunfermline are the only side in Scotland who are unbeaten in the league this season. They have won three and drawn three of their last six matches and the Pars will hopefully be refreshed from their free weekend.
Peterhead got a lift from win over Kelty Hearts but they have won just one and lost five of their last six matches. They finished last season with six games unbeaten but this season they have lost ten of their first twelve fixtures. They will be out to avenge for their heavy SPFL Trust Trophy tie 4-0 defeat to Elgin City, a result that their manager Jim McInally termed unacceptable.
