AS Airdrie 3-3 AFC Airdrieonians

AS Airdrie 3 Airdrieonians 3


Goals from Kenny Pardoe(2) and Ian Shaw saw Airdrie come from 2-0 and then 3-2 down in a highly competitive derby with new boys Airdrieonians in the first competitive game of the season.

The first half saw Airdrie dominate possession and the chances but finding themselves 2-0 down after half an hour. Ball watching saw Airdrie 1 down then slack marking left the number 10 all alone to finish neatly. However 5 minutes from half time saw Airdrie pull a goal back with Kenny converting a penalty after he was brought down.1-2 ht

Second half was very much an even affair. Ten minutes in and a fine cross from Scott Graham saw Kenny Pardoe head home the equaliser from 10 yards. However that joy was short lived as the dangerous Gibb fired in a strike that hammered against the post. From the rebound the number 6 fired in a half volley into the roof of the net. The away side had a couple of chances to finish the game off but  they weren’t taken then they had a man sent off for abusive language toward the referee last 20 was all Airdrie and they got their reward when Shaw ran clear on goal and clipped the ball over the advancing goalkeeper. Full time 3-3

A draw was probably the right result. Some good attacking play from Airdrie but some poor mistakes in defence once again cost Airdrie.
