Dundee West had a chance soon after, a brilliant corner was swung into Jordan Conway who sent a powerful header which grazed the cross bar.
Ewan Faulkner created a superb chance for Broughty. After a brilliant dribble down the wing, Faulkner played a low ball into the box for Brandon Black. The shot was low and hard but Craig Heggie saved it with ease.
