Having scored second half goals to lead 2-0 with three minutes remaining Dunfermline failed to see the game out and the 2-2 draw felt like a defeat in the circumstances.
Midway through the second half Edwards was able to swing the ball over to the far post. BREEN challenged and was able to squeeze the opener in between Paul Dixon and Andrew Macdonald. 1-0
A second Dunfermline goal in 84 minutes came from another Edwards cross that TODOROV met at the far post. 2-0
Many thought that was the points settled but Peterhead had other thoughts. Jason BROWN bundled the ball over the Pars goalline in 87th minute.
Then in the fourth minute of time added on Macdonald swept over a free kick from the right that Mikey HEWITT lobbed into the net with a looping header. 2-2.
