Chris Mochrie makes a mockery of the Dumbarton keeper, another member of the Trialist family, pinching the ball off him in his own six-yard box and finishing a simple second.

BBC Sport Scotland at Meadowbank StadiumJohn McGlynn, admittedly greedily, asked for loads of goals and a clean sheet.
Just over half an hour into the new season and the Falkirk manager is getting his wish.
The Bairns look in the mood for more, too…

ByAmy Canavan
BBC Sport Scotland at Meadowbank Stadium
Ross MacIver’s hat-trick helped Falkirk to a thumping five-goal away win over Edinburgh City in their Premier Sports Cup group-stage opener.
MacIver netted twice in the first-half - including the first goal of the Scottish season - either side of Ben Parkinson’s close-range goal as John McGlynn's side raced into a three-goal lead after 26 minutes in the Group G meeting with the League 2 side.
Connor Allan added a fourth from the edge of the box in a brilliant first-half for the Bairns, although it was blighted by midfielder Aidan Nesbitt being stretchered off after hurting his right ankle.
Michael McIndoe's hosts contained the free flowing Bairns - who host Ayr United on Tuesday (19:45 BST) - better in the second half.
However, MacIver bookended the scoring to claim his hat-trick with a late tap-in as he went home with the match ball.
