Late Goals Lift Edinburgh City Over Peterhead in League One
EDINBURGH, Scotland (Interstat) — Innes Murray and Daniel Handling scored in the final seven minutes Sunday, lifting Edinburgh City to a 2-0 victory over Peterhead in a Scottish League One match at Meadowbank Stadium.
The match was scoreless until the 83rd minute when Murray, a midfielder from Edinburgh, broke the deadlock. Fellow Edinburgh native Handling added a second goal five minutes later to seal the win. The result defied a pregame statistical projection that heavily favored Edinburgh City but had forecast a draw.
The victory came in Week 7 of the league schedule. Peterhead’s season record in League One now stands at 13 wins, 14 losses and 7 draws. Edinburgh City improved to 2 wins, 2 losses and 4 draws in the competition.
