🟠⚫ FULL TIME | AIRDRIE ROVERS 6–1 GRANGEMOUTH AFC ⚽
Another convincing victory for the Rovers as we make it back-to-back league wins with a 6–1 victory over Grangemouth AFC! 💪
Rovers got off to the perfect start when Kyle Stewart opened the scoring after just 3 minutes with a calm and composed finish. Kyle doubled his tally on the 29th minute, connecting sweetly with a Scott Blades assist to fire into the bottom corner.
Scott Blades then stepped up from the penalty spot in the 37th minute to put Rovers 3–0 ahead going into the break.
Despite the comfortable scoreline, the first-half performance wasn’t quite at the level we expect. Our passing was sloppy at times, and we struggled to really take control of the game.
The second half, however, was a different story! 🔥
Rovers came out looking much sharper, and Scott Blades got us going again with an absolute belter of a free kick in the 54th minute!
Kyle Stewart then completed his hat-trick in spectacular fashion, firing an absolute beauty into the top corner in the 76th minute. 🎩⚽
Just three minutes later, Gary Hamilton made it six, showing great determination to get his head on the end of a brilliant Lee Morrison cross.
In truth, Rovers could and probably should have added a few more, with several good opportunities going begging.
Grangemouth managed to grab a consolation goal in the 90th minute following a lapse in concentration at the back, denying us a clean sheet.
Overall, a much-improved second-half performance and another important three points for the boys! 👏
