The Ladbrokes Championship play-off got underway in stunning fashion, as Dumbarton midfielder Stuart Carswell thundered a shot into the top corner only minutes into the game.
In a tightly contested affair, Alloa kept possession well, but struggled to find a cutting edge to get back on level terms. Both sides traded opportunities in some difficult conditions. Carswell's early strike remained the difference at full-time, with the teams meeting again on Sunday in the second-leg.
