Darvel 1-0 Aberdeen: Sixth-tier hosts secure famous upset
Darvel produced arguably the biggest upset in 149 years of Scottish Cup history as the sixth-tier outfit defeated top-flight Aberdeen.
Lopes received Duncan's cross on the penalty spot but his effort on the turn was blocked, then the 19-year-old attacker hit a shot into the side-netting, won a corner with Aberdeen's next attack and curled an effort wide. Aberdeen's response to that surge in confidence was limited. Ylber Ramadani rattled a shot that contained more anger than accuracy, and skipper Anthony Stewart nodded a free-kick over Truesdale's crossbar.He sent on Miovski and Vicente Besuijen for Patrik Myslovic and Matty Kennedy for the second half to try to effect a turnaround in his side's fortunes and possibly save his job.
Jonny Hayes came on for Coulson and with 18 minutes to go the Irish winger supplied Lopes. The Cape Verde international connected well but, as with the Duncan attempt, somehow Truesdale parried clear.
