For Edinburgh City, goals were scored by Lee Hamilton (61') and Danny Handling (81'). Aidan Quinn (17'), Miller Thomson (28', 45'), Kane Hester (37') and Blair Lyons (62') scored for Montrose.

It has been seldom in recent times where Edinburgh City have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Edinburgh City have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 19 goals in the process. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, however.
