Dundee United secured their place among the Scottish League Cup second-round seeds as a penalty shoot-out win over Dundee saw them top Group C and enjoy a far happier trip to Dens Park. As luck would have it the sides will meet again in the next round at the same location after being drawn out of the hat this afternoon. With both teams assured of progress to the second round, city pride was the major factor at stake as the teams met for the first time since United were relegated at the same venue last year. A 10,460 crowd watched Paul McMullan give United the lead in the final minute of the half to take the sting out of the home side's half-time stunt of bringing out X Factor contestant Wagner to troll their near neighbours. But Mark O'Hara's strike denied United the outright derby victory their fans craved. However, goalkeeper Harry Lewis made two saves to earn United a 4-3 spot-kicks triumph. |
