Trialist Chris Liversedge drew Carnoustie level just five minutes in to the second half. The visitors defended manfully but were robbed of a crucial point when the referee controversially pointed to the penalty spot in the last minute for a challenge by Danny Millar. Kevin Kelbie converting the spot kick. There was still time for Macdonald to miss what appeared to be a simple chance before the referee blew the final whistle.
Manager Alan McSkimming was understandably disappointed after the game but was full of praise for his troops who had turned in a much improved performance
