Gleniffer Thistle Women were knocked out of the Scottish Women\u2019s Cup after a 5-4 extra-time defeat away to Airdrie on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer led 2-0 and 3-1 during an end-to-end first-round tie before Airdrie fought back to take the game into extra time.<\/p>\n

Cara McInally opened the scoring for Gleniffer with a good finish before Tasha Marshall doubled the advantage, finishing first time with her left foot after being played through.<\/p>\n

Airdrie pulled one back before the interval to leave Gleniffer 2-1 ahead at half-time.<\/p>\n

McInally struck again in the second half after Gleniffer won possession in midfield, restoring their two-goal advantage at 3-1.<\/p>\n

Airdrie responded to make it 3-2, while McInally was denied a hat-trick by a save from the home goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

With the game entering the 90th minute, Airdrie won a corner and forced home an equaliser following a scramble in front of goal.<\/p>\n

There was further drama in injury time when Gleniffer goalkeeper Leigh Skelton was shown a straight red card following a mistimed challenge.<\/p>\n

Marianna Bottiglieri took over in goal, with the resulting Airdrie free-kick going over the bar as the match finished 3-3 after 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Airdrie scored twice in quick succession during extra time to move 5-3 ahead against the ten players of Gleniffer.<\/p>\n

Hannah Cameron gave Gleniffer hope with a free-kick from around 35 yards, her second such goal of the season, to reduce the deficit to 5-4.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer pushed for another equaliser, but Airdrie held on to secure their place in the next round.<\/p>\n

Hannah Colquhoun was named Gleniffer\u2019s player of the match for her performance.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer will now return to league action as they look to get back to winning ways.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the first round, St Mirren were also knocked out after a 3-1 defeat by Queen of the South.<\/p>\n

Arbroath and Edinburgh South progressed on penalties following draws with Thornton Hibs and Dunfermline Athletic respectively, while Jeanfield Swifts defeated Giffnock on penalties after their tie finished 2-2.<\/p>\n

Cambusdoon, Dalkeith Thistle, Inverurie Locos, Shetland and Stoneywood Parkvale also booked places in the next round.<\/p>\n
