Academy
had a great move that almost resulted in the opener. Weir collected the ball
with back to goal and held off his man before sliding the ball into the feet of
Davie Allan and he smoked a screamer just over the top of the Lossie cross-bar.
3 minutes
before the half-time break Davie Allan passed up a fantastic chance for the
opener. Mackay slipped the ball into Davie Allan and 6 yards from goal he had
time to pick his spot but he skied his shot straight up into the air.
1 minute
later Weir dummied the ball and let it run to Mackay and in exactly the same
spot as Allan in the attempt before he also fluffed his lines as his shot screwed yards wide of the
target.
In the last
action of the half Craig Shearer took a sore-one when he was elbowed in the
face whilst challenging for the ball and was lead off the park as the half-time
whistle was sounded.
Half time 0
– 0
Shearer was unable to continue after the break and he was
replaced by Gary Manson.
In the 58th minute Macadie burst down the right
flank and hit the byline before cutting it across goal to Weir who swiveled on the
ball and fired in a first time shot but keeper McConachien got a hand to the
ball and turned it around the post.
3 minutes later Academy broke the dead-lock. Weir slid a
reverse-pass to Mackay and he beat his marker on he left hand side of the
Lossie penalty area, took a touch and belted the ball past McConnachie into the
top right hand corner via the intersection of cross-bar and post.
1 – 0
With 67 minutes on the clock Academy launched another attack
and Weir had an effort that looked to be going wide of target but it ran to the
feet of Stewart Ross and he stuck it home from 4 yards out at the back-post.
2 – 0
Lossie didn't have many goal scoring opportunities but in
the 77th minute substitute David Farquhar found some space in the
Academy box but he sent his effort over
the top of target when he should have really worked James More.
Academy looked as if they were going to go another goal to
the good when Davie Alan broke through on goal but with only the keeper to beat
he sent his shot just wide of the right hand post.
Weir was next to pass-up another great chance but he also
shot wide of target.
In the last kick of the game Academy went three up. Manson
made ground up the left before passing to Mackay who drove the ball across goal
from a tight angle and the ball nicked the post before falling to Macadie and
he converted from 10 yards out.
