Cup: Buffs FC crash out of Cup on PKs.

The Buffs were 2-1 up from the away leg but all was still to play for on both sides. Opposition again boasted a better starting 11.

Opponent lined up in 4-hex and Buffs Mad manned the baricades with a 4-5-1V defensive counterattacking side. The Opposition manager came late and the Buffs had been creating chances but not taking them. Opposition took a first half lead in 38 mins when a FK from the right was volleyed home. A Buffs supported joined the action.

The away manager freshened up his wingers during HT and bagged a 2 goal lead 2 minutes after the restart from a strike that neither the GK nor the commentator saw coming. The Buffs squared up the agg when right winger Johnstone banged one in. McFadden came on for Right Winger Baxter and the chances were being made at both ends. The penultimate act saw the Away GK tip over a FK from Law. The opposition then nullified the corner kick and counterattacked - with GK McGregor pulling off a fantastic save to take it to ET.

The visitors were in the acendancy in the extra period, particularly the second 15 mins but the Buffs held on. Unfortunately the only one to miss a PK was the Buffs first penalty taker.

Out but not ashamed. The Buffs fought well and deserve credit.

Three FKs were defended before the break but the home side pulled level shortly after the restart. Buffs Mad sent the wingers to more advanced positions. As the Buffs counter-attacked again and again, central defender Hutton went on an amazing solo run from deep and finished neatly after 'rounding the keeper.

Just as the Buffs looked comfortable and still threatening, at the back MC Gemmill pole-axed Messi in the box. Messi is as Messi does - he made a complete mess of it and ballooned over.

Goals: McCoist (4), Hutton (60).
