Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup History with Dunfermline: From Own-Goal to Heartbreak

Aberdeen: The Dons are set to face Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup next month. Fans are buzzing with excitement. It’s been a while since these two teams clashed in the cup. The last meeting was back in February 2011.

That match was quite the rollercoaster. Aberdeen won thanks to an own-goal in the dying minutes. It was a tense game, but the Dons pulled through. They went on to reach the semi-finals, only to lose to Celtic.

Before that, in 2009, Dunfermline knocked Aberdeen out in a penalty shootout. It was a heartbreaker for the Dons. They fought hard, but penalties can be cruel. The Pars celebrated their victory, even though they lost in the next round.

Going back even further, in 1989, the teams met again. Aberdeen had to fight hard to win that one too. They managed to secure a 3-1 victory after a replay.

These matches have created a rich history between the two clubs. Fans are eager to see what happens next month. Will it be another thrilling chapter in their rivalry?
