The visitors got of to a flying start when Jonathon Simpson broke into the Leith box and he slotted the ball past the advancing Iain Gordon.

Coldstream’s lead was short lived and within a few minutes Craig Hume had levelled it when he was left unmarked in the box and when the ball was cut back he had the simple task of firing the ball into the net.
