Kyrell Wilson was the hero for Falkirk as they eventually overcame 10-man Aberdeen, leaving the misfiring Dons rooted to the foot of the Scottish Premiership.
The Pittodrie side enjoyed the better of the first half but failed to find a way past the impressive Scott Bain, and their task was made harder when Nicky Devlin was sent off three minutes before the break.
Roles reversed, the Dons defended with their lives to keep the score level until Wilson lashed home with 15 minutes left.
