League Cup Group F

A visit to the Rose on League Cup action saw the Caley Jags run out comfortable winners with Rose keeper Cammy Binnie in outstanding form to keep the visitors goal tally down. We did strike twice in the first half through Ryan Duncan and full back Noa Boutin. The stats will show that Binnie made nine saves which is a great effort and it also shows that the Caley Jags got eleven shots on target from fifteen attempts and an incredible thirteen corners!

Inverness are at home to St Johnstone on Tuesday night.

Here's the talking points:

13: Attempt saved. Graeme left footed shot from more than 35 yards is saved in the top left corner by Cammy Binnie.

17: ICT forced a couple of corners before Ryan Duncan fired home from the centre of the box.

Inverness won four corners on the trot shortly after that came to nothing before Morgan Bates shot over.

38: Paul Allan saw an effort from outside the box saved by Binnie and Noa Boutin was on hand to score a great second for the visitors.

We finished the half with a flourish as Bates shot wide and Alfie Stewart was denied by Binnie.

HALF TIME: 0-2

46: We started the second half still on the front foot with Binnie keeping Bates out on the restart.

55: Paul Allan was played through but Binnie saved again.

60: Alfie Stewart's corner was sent goalwards by Bates but it was cleared off the line.

62: Shinnie's ball saw Duncan bring out a good low stop from the keeper.

72: Substitute Liam Sole fired one in from range but once more Binnie denied the visitors, and Hamzad Kargbo netted moments later but was flagged offside.

77: Ross Munro was called into action to save from Calum Rae and two minutes later Danny Devine headed over and Rae fired another effort over the bar from outside the box.

83: Kargbo met Allan's cross into the box but Binnie stood firm.

85: Last big effort of the game fell to Jordan Tosh's head with Munro saving.

Inverness saw out the game relatively untroubled to move second in group F behind St Johnstone who inflicted a third straight defeat on Morton.
