Our 2010 Scottish Cup journey began with a memorable and commanding 2-0 victory over Partick Thistle in the fourth round, a result that would set the tone for an unforgettable run to Hampden Park.
It was a chilly afternoon at Firhill, as Peter Houston took charge of his first match as caretaker boss!
After some early chances, our breakthrough came in the 26th minute, with a Craig Conway corner found Garry Kenneth, whose volley was helped over the line by Damian Casalinuovo. Thistle’s protests for handball were waved away by the referee, and the goal stood, giving United a well-deserved lead. Casalinuovo had earlier missed a golden opportunity, but he made amends in front of the travelling fans, who serenaded him with chants of “Argentina, Argentina.”
While Partick Thistle did threaten with a couple of chances either side of half-time, debutant goalkeeper Dusan Pernis was calm and composed between the posts, ensuring that Thistle’s efforts came to nothing. United’s defence stood firm as they weathered a brief late surge from the home side.
Then, in the final minute, the game was sealed in spectacular fashion. Substitute David Goodwillie picked up the ball and raced towards the corner flag, cutting inside and slipping past two defenders before sliding home from an incredibly narrow angle.
The Terrors’ journey through the competition would go on to captivate and inspire, as we battled our way to a second Scottish Cup triumph.
