Match Report
Elgin City have qualified for the knockout phase of the KDM Evolution Trophy after a 2-2 draw with a young Aberdeen side.
However, City were made to work for the draw against an excellent young Dons side.
City got off to a great start when Ryan Sargent fired a left foot shoot through the legs of Conner Douglas in the 10th minute, for his fourth goal in three games.
However, Aberdeen hit back inside four minutes and it was Elgin lad Joseph Teasdale who curled in a great effort into the net.
The Dons were on top and Teasdale tapped in from close range in the 21st minute to make it 2-1.
And Tom McHale pulled off a great save with his feet to deny the striker a hat-trick before half-time.
Elgin made two changes at the break and came more into the game but could not find an equaliser.
Sargent had a goal disallowed after he netted with a towering header, but the referee blew for an infringement on the goalkeeper by another City player.
They had to rely on sub Kane Hester who showed composure to knock the ball over keeper Conner Douglas in the 89th minute.
Elgin pushed for a winner but Aberdeen remained strong in the closing stages.
