Ayr Utd secured a vital 2-0 victory away to Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship on Friday night. The win lifts the Honest Men to eighth in the table, now on five points from their opening six matches.
D. Watret opened the scoring for the visitors in the 35th minute, finishing a move created by S. McMann. The lead was doubled just after the hour mark when J. Landers found the net, with L. King providing the assist. Ayr Utd had earlier missed a chance to go ahead when R. Taylor saw a penalty saved in the 30th minute.
K. Holt received a yellow card for Ayr Utd in the first half, while Queen's Park saw S. Martin and B. Brannan booked. The home side made four substitutions in an attempt to change the game, but Ayr Utd's defence held firm. N. McAllister was shown a late yellow card after coming off the bench.
The result ends a run of three consecutive league defeats for Ayr Utd and provides a major boost ahead of their next fixture. They host league leaders Stenhousemuir at Somerset Park next Friday.
