Cowdenbeath 0 Ross County 2 Second-half goals from Michael Gardyne and Paul Di Giacomo gave Ross County a 2-0 win over Cowdenbeath. The opening period was one of few chances, although Di Giacomo should have done better when he headed Gary Miller's cross gently into the arms of Cowdenbeath keeper David Hay. His fellow attacker Gardyne made no mistake when his emphatically drilled into the top corner from the left-hand side of the penalty area seven minutes after the interval. The home side were struggling to impose themselves on the contest but Colin Cameron should have done better when he headed wide when well placed in the 72nd minute. Di Giacomo put the result beyond doubt when he finished coolly from Steven Craig's cross eight minutes from time to atone for his earlier miss.
