It was the visitors who struck first, finding the net just five minutes into the game to take an early lead. Carniny responded with determination, creating chances, but not converting and even having the ball over the line—they went into the break still trailing by a goal.

Carniny came out strong in the second half, pushing for the equalizer. Their persistence paid off in the 64th minute when Aaron Johnston latched onto a low pass across from Lee McCallion and rifled a left-footed strike past the keeper. The momentum seemed to swing further in Carniny’s favour when the visitors were reduced to ten men in the 77th minute following a second yellow card.

However, just minutes later, a defensive lapse allowed the visitors to retake the lead. Carniny threw everything forward in the closing stages, battling hard in search of another equalizer. But in injury time, a long clearance from the Olderfleet defence caught the wind, bounced awkwardly over the Carniny keeper, and sealed the result—giving the visitors a win with a scoreline that perhaps flattered them.
