Our live blog described all the action as it happened at Stark’s Park.

Raith Rovers 2 v 0 Dunfermline Athletic

No scoring as yet. Rovers are struggling to make any inroads into the Dunfermline half of the pitch.

The ball hits off Benedictus’s back and lands in the path of Kevin O’Hara. He shoots, it’s straight at Jamie MacDonald but the ball squirms out of his hands and almost crosses the line. Close!

Lewis Vaughan booked for a late challenge. Looked harsh.

A Dom Thomas free kick is parried over by MacDonald.

A cross from Vaughan into the six yard is just a bit too far in front of Dan Armstrong. Encouraging for Rovers.

Great save from MacDonald to deny Craig Wighton who had a clear run on goal.

The Pars have had the upper hand in the last few minutes.

Armstrong heads over from a Kieran MacDonald cross.

Benedictus slices a cross into the box narrowly over the Raith bar. A let off!

A Kieran MacDonald shot is saved by Fon Williams but he didn’t look to confident as he pushed it away.
