Albion Rovers defeated Berwick Rangers with a goal in each half from Pat Walker for their first victory at home since beating Arbroath on December 15, 2007.
And Berwick have now gone 37 games without keeping the ball out of their net.
The majority of those games were of course during the disastrous '101 goals conceded' league campaign last season, but their latest loss at previously pointless Albion has to be one of the worst.
Missing six players who would normally feature, manager Alan McGonigal was left with a depleted squad that featured three teenage substitutes with no previous senior football experience before this season.
But it still does not excuse this performance. Berwick lacked imagination in attack, fight in midfield and were vulnerable to say the least in defence.
The only player given pass marks by a despondent McGonigal after the game was his goalkeeper Ryan McGurk. And his summary was hard to argue with, although sub Andy McLean was solid as a first half replacement for injured Graham Guy.
The right back hurt his ankle immediately prior to the first goal on 25 minutes, but even if he had been fully fit it is unlikely Guy would have been able to deny the dangerous Bobby Barr.
The former St Johnstone winger caused Guy more problems than a UN peacekeeper in Georgia as Barr skipped past his challenge to cross for Pat Walker to sidefoot home through a packed penalty box.
The goal had been coming for Albion. Walker had already called McGurk into action on 13 minutes after good interplay with Ross Harries, signed the previous day from Stirling Albion.
Harries and Barr occupied the touchlines of the pitch and pulled Berwick apart, with both combining a minute after the goal to almost make it a quick fire double for Albion.
The only occasions Berwick looked even remotely like scoring was at set pieces and Stuart Callaghan's corner needed all the attention of Rovers stopper David Scott to tip the ball over his bar.
David Greenhall took the subsequent corner, but the fit again Robbie Horn produced a convincing clearance into Cliftonhill's jungle of unkempt grass behind the goal rather than the clinical finish that was required.
But it was Albion who should have gone into half time two goals up when Tommy Coyne, son of the ex-Motherwell and Celtic striker of the same name, somehow missed the goal with an unmarked header three yards out from a Harries cross.
Half time saw David Grant arrive on the field for Andy Howat, but the young striker was helpless as Albion went two goals ahead on 47 minutes.
Diminutive Rovers striker Walker begins a year of travelling round the world next month, but it seemed he was already in a different time zone when he was left unmarked by the Berwick defence to head home another great Harries cross.
Finally a reaction came from Berwick following the goal with Fraser McLaren's free kick being palmed away by Scott under his cross bar before Grant lost his balance as he was about to shoot at goal, having been played through on goal by Darren Gribben.
However, that was about it as far as a response went and Rovers were soon back on the front foot.
Harries had another surge into the Berwick box only to see his shot deflected wide, while sub Mark Pollock should have made the depressing afternoon for McGonigal's men even worse when he spurned two good chances.
Berwick sub Chris Anderson then denied Ciaran Donnelly in injury time by blocking his header on the goal line.
But it mattered little. Albion celebrated their first win of the season and 2008 in front of the smallest crowd of the day (269) in the Scottish Football League in their delapidated Cliftonhill stadium.
It really can't get much worse than Saturday. No stats are needed to figure out that Berwick must improve if they are to have even a partially successful season.
