Brora Rangers 0-1 Alloa Athletic

Alloa Athletic were pushed all the way by Highland League Brora Rangers but ultimately reached the Scottish Challenge Cup second round.

Joe Malin denied Alloa's Geoff Mitchell and Colin Hamilton.

Mitchell broke the deadlock early in the second half, breaking clear before firing home a left-foot shot into the net.

And Alloa goalkeeper Davie Crawford pulled off great saves to deny Steven Mackay and Zander Sutherland.
