Dyce progressed to the third round of the Quest Engineering Cup with a 3-1 victory over Stonehaven at Glenury Park to set up a home tie against Tayport in the next round.
The visitors went in front early on when Dan Agnew took advantage of a defensive lapse to slot the ball into an empty net for the only goal of the first half.
Glen Donald headed home Agnew’s cross after 68 minutes to double the advantage before Rob Armstrong pulled one back direct from a corner and then, at the death, Dylan Souden’s pass found Fergus Alberts who rounded the keeper and scored.
Dyce manager Alfie Youngson said: “We played well and controlled the majority of the game against one of the top teams in the area so it was a good win, particularly as we had the game in midweek.
“We’re away to Newmachar United at the weekend, and we really hope Charlie Gordon Park is playable.
“We’ve had too many games cancelled already this season and we need to get games played.”
Also progressing to the third stage are Hermes, who had Andy Youngson, Joe Burr, Brunon Paszkiewicz and Dom Rae on target at home to Maud.
Sunnybank are also through after running out 3-0 winners against Ellon United at Heathryfold where Andy Buck, Dylan Cumming and Aaran Christie were the scorers.
