It's Raining Goals
Liam Sole started this one after a dazzling half hour display against St Johnstone and he made an immediate impact. He was booked in the 5th minute for alleged simulation. Billy Mckay turned on an Alfie Stewart ball but just missed the target early on. A trialist opened the scoring for the hosts after 17 minutes under a challenge from Danny Devine. Liam Sole blazed wide after a good run and Alfie Stewart was denied by Morrison before at the other end John Robertson clipped the post with an effort from distance that looped over the keeper before hitting woodwork. Inverness would not be denied though as Longstaff, Allan and Stewart combined brilliantly for Billy Mckay to nod in at the back post from Alfie's superb cross. Sole was then denied from a tight angle by keeper Morrison and with five minutes to the break dangerman Robertson went close at the opposite end. Almost another for Inverness but Alfie Stewart's shot bounced just wide after he was played through on goal but it was all square at the break in a game played at breakneck speed end to end.
HALF TIME: 1-1
No changes at the break, but a blistering start for the Caley Jags saw us take a one... two... three... four... five goal advantage. Firstly Paul Allan (48) squeezed his shot in from an impossible angle followed by Luis Longstaff (51) with a superb strike. A low Calum MacLeod shot ended up in the back of the net (54) before Longstaff (57) ended the ten minute scoring spree with a brilliant lob. Or so we thought.....Alfie Stewart added a sixth with a tremendous free kick into the corner from the right side of the box just after the hour. David Wotherspoon hit the post after coming on as a substitute for Liam Sole with Mathew Strachan's follow up saved by the keeper. A spate of substitutions followed with the tie secured and with a couple of minutes remaining John Robertson scored the second of the night for the hosts with a free kick. Still time for an effort or two at either end before the whistle as Inverness recorded an impressive away win to move into second in the Group F table.
FULL TIME: 2-6
