In the first half most of the play was from Queens who came close a few times, Dundee's first chance came when Matt Lockwood took a free kick but Hutton was equal to it saving well. Then against the run of play Dundee scored good play on the wing and Tom Brighton's cross fell to Harkins who's shot was blocked, the ball fell to Craig Forsyth who drilled the ball home to give Dundee the lead. Queens had a chance on half time but it was well cleared.
Second half and much the same vein with Queens attacking and Dundee defending well. Johnston tested Douglas with a curling shot but Rab held on well to make a good save, minutes later and Forsyth hit the post after Riley had picked him out with a cross. A minute later and Queens were level when McGuffie headed home a Johnston cross to give Douglas no chance. Dundee then made a change with trialist Greacen replacing Jonny Stewart. Keeping the 4-4-2 formation Rhys Weston moved into central midfield. It proved successful as Greacen won most long balls Queens put in, and Dundee scored again soon after and it proved to be the winner. Good play from Nicky Riley and when a shot was blocked and spun high in the air he jumped to win the header which fell to Sean Higgins who's bicycle kick ended up in the net with Hutton stunned, the keeper did not even move. Wild celebration's followed from the Dundee fans who's long wait for a win here was about to happen.
Dundee held on to claim three more vital points and with Stirling losing 3-1 at home to Raith it moved the Dark Blues off the bottom of the league. So happy Dundee fans heading home tonight.
