st johnstone's early dominance coupled with dunfermline's poor defending resulted in st johnstone scoring a third goal after only 30 minutes; forward andy jackson passed the ball to derek mcinnes who then played the ball to deuchar who moved past defender sol bamba in the penalty area and scored past the opposing goalkeeper from eight yards out to make it 3–0. four minutes after the third goal, dunfermline manager stephen kenny made the first substitution of the match, replacing defender calum woods with darren young. in the 37th minute, shortly after the substitution, dunfermline scored when scott wilson's header beat st johnstone goalkeeper alan main. dunfermline's form changed for the better after their first goal and they almost scored again just before half time when substitute young's goal-attempt rebounded off the goalpost.
