complacency denies dons.

Aberdeen U19's through away a 2-0 lead this afternoon against bottom of the league Partick Thistle. The home side dominated the opening period and Bagshaw grabbed the opener with a low drive that beat the keeper from 20 yards out. John Stewart set up the second when his cross was headed home by McInnes to put the Dons in total control at the break.

Unfortunately the home side then took their foot of the gas and a couple of blunders allowed the Jags back into the game. Thistle grabbed their first when Hutton dropped a cross allowing the visitors a simple tap in and when Higgins was short with a pass back the damage was complete. The Dons had plenty of opportunities throughout the match to grab more, but were unable to finish.

Neil Cooper was disappointed with the outcome. "After making such a great start to the second half of the campaign this was disappointing. We dominated the first half then became complacent and this allowed them back into the match. The players will have to learn from this as we have an important quarter-final tie away to Celtic in midweek."
