Peterhead pounce for victory
Posted Saturday, April 03, 2010 by PA
Ten-man Peterhead produced an amazing fightback to win 2-1 at Brechin.
Robert Mann was dismissed for the away side for a reckless professional foul after 39 minutes.
At that stage in looked as if the home side would take all three points as they were already 1-0 up through a Mark Archdeacon free kick after 24 minutes.
The midfielder curled a delightful 25-yard free-kick into the top right-hand corner following a foul on Charlie King by Graeme Sharp.
But Peterhead stunned the home side with an equaliser seven minutes into the second half when Barry Smith fouled Martin Bavidge in the penalty area and Barry Wilsonscored from the spot.
And with 17 minutes remaining Martin Bavidge hit a stunning 25 yard effort which flew into the top left hand corner giving Craig Nelson in the Brechin goal no chance.
The home side piled on the pressure late on but failed to create any meaningful chances and Peterhead held for the three points which stretches their unbeaten run to five games.
