Brechin made it three wins in a row with a 2-1 Ladbrokes League One victory over bottom club Forfar in a match that saw both teams finish with 10 men.
Brechin made a bright start and Robert Thomson saw an early effort saved by Darren Hill and Jamie Robson then fired a shot narrowly wide.
The hosts forced their way back into the game and Steven Craig and Andy Ryan both went close.
Darren McCormack sent a close-range header narrowly wide before Thomson was also off target with another attempt.
And in first-half stoppage time, Brechin went ahead when McCormack got on the end of Liam Watt's delivery to head home from close range.
Ryan was dismissed for a second booking early in the second half and Brechin wrapped up victory two minutes from time when Jamie Robson latched onto Willie Dyer's cross to fire home before Craig Molloy was sent off for Brechin in time added on.
Danny Denholm then headed home a late consolation for the hosts.
