Leaders Livingston left it late to secure a 1-0 win at in-form Stranraer.
Liam Buchanan scored with six minutes left to extend Livi's lead to nine points at the top of Ladbrokes League One.
Stranraer sit two points above the relegation play-off position after their first loss in eight games.
Buchanan's strike was one of just four managed in the division on Saturday.
Two of those came late on at Hampden Park as Queen's Park drew 1-1 with Brechin.
City seemed set to move up to third after Andrew Jackson's 84th-minute strike but Ryan McGeever levelled for the hosts six minutes later.
The only other goal in the division was scored by Iain Russell as Airdrie won 1-0 at home against bottom side Stenhousemuir.
David Marsh earned a straight red for the visitors with six minutes left for a foul on Iain Russell.
The win saw Airdrie move level on points with Brechin and East Fife but they remain outside the play-off places on goal difference.
Second-place Alloa's four-match winning run came to an end as they were held to a goalless draw by third-placed East Fife while Albion against Peterhead also finished goalless.
