Dundee got off to dreadful starts as Hibs scored in the first 40 secs, Calvin Miller lost the ball and Boyle passed to Horgan whose cross was head past his own keeper by defender Genseric Kusunga. Dundee did recover quickly and they matched the home side with some neat football.
Kenny Miller was unlucky when his header was well saved by Hibs keeper Adam Bogdan. Hibs had chances as well but good defending kept the home side out. But on 30 minutes it was 2-0 and it was against the run of place. From a Stevie Mallan free kick from the right to the far post and Ryan Porteous powered his header past Hamilton.
Dundee kept at it and got their reward on the stroke of half-time. Nathan Ralph made a terrific run down the left and played a perfect low cross into the six yard box for Kenny Miller to steer the ball past Bogdan and inside the far post. The finish was neat, but the assist was delightful.
Second half was just a couple of minutes old when Dundee pulled level with a superb goal. Jesse Curran broke through from the half way line, racing past a couple of challenges. After pulling the Hibs defence out of position he played in Paul McGowan, who cut inside his man before curling a left foot shot round Bogdan from 15 yards.
It gave every player in the Dundee side a massive lift and the supporters roared on the Dark Blues as they attacked Hibs with some great football. Jesse Curran was unlucky after another surging run and Bogdan did well to push his shot round the post. Hibs had chances as well the best fell to Boyle but Hamilton saved well.
Dundee used three subs as they ran down the clock, it was a great performance and if they can keep that up they will stay in this league. I enjoyed the game and the beer afterwards tasted good!
