In a one-sided friendly encounter at Dunipace FC’s home ground, the visiting Arbroath side ran out convincing winners with a 4–0 scoreline. The match, part of the International Club Friendly series, gave both teams a chance to test their squads ahead of the new season, but it was the visitors who dominated from start to finish.

Early Pressure Pays Off

Arbroath began the match with intensity, pressing high and forcing errors from the Dunipace defence. The breakthrough came in the 12th minute when a well-worked corner was headed home by their towering centre‑back. The early goal set the tone, and Arbroath continued to create chances through quick transitions.

Clinical Finishing Seals the Win

The second goal arrived just before the half‑hour mark, a composed finish after a slick passing move sliced open the home defence. Dunipace struggled to mount any meaningful attacks, with their midfield overrun. Arbroath added a third shortly after the restart, this time from a long‑range strike that left the goalkeeper with no chance. The fourth and final goal came in the 78th minute when a substitute striker slotted home after a defensive mix‑up.

Standout Performers

For Arbroath, the midfield duo controlled the tempo, while their forwards showed sharpness in front of goal. On the other side, Dunipace’s goalkeeper made several saves to keep the score from being even greater, but the home side lacked cohesion in attack. The friendly served as a useful fitness exercise for both teams, although Dunipace will need to tighten up defensively before competitive fixtures begin.
