Logan's well-placed shot from an indirect free kick showcased his composure in front of goal, giving the Clarets a deserved lead. However, the joy was short-lived as BSC Glasgow responded swiftly, equalising straight after in the 35th minute. The Clarets were left to regroup as the first half concluded with the score level at 1-1.

As the second half unfolded, the Clarets continued to press for a winner, and their persistence paid off in the dying moments of the match. In the 71st minute, Kai Logan struck again, this time from a direct free kick taken from outside the box. His right-footed effort curled beautifully into the net, leaving the BSC goalkeeper with no chance and sealing a memorable brace for the midfielder.
