Dundee 1, Hamilton Accies 0, Dens Park, cinch Championship, 19-November-22

Dundee started with much of the same team which finished last week's game except for Cillian Sheridan who came in for Josh Mulligan who had a slight knock. 

In the first minutes Cammy Kerr went close with a 18 yard shot, Dundee played a lot of football but their final ball let them down. Paul McMullan had a good effort saved well after 25 minutes. The next twenty minutes went down a bit and Accies could have scored right on half time but Ian lawlor pulled off two great saves it was in between a brave header from Ryan Sweeney.

Second half and Zak Rudden replaced Cillian Sheridan who struggled in the first half. Lawlor made another good save as Accies hit Dundee on the break. 

But on 57 minutes Dundee took the lead a great ball put Rudden clear and his cross was finished by Paul McMullan for a well worked goal which they deserved.

Soon after Zach Robinson limped off injured after an hour and Derick Osei replaced him. Dundee were lucky when Accies hit the post with a great shot. Dundee kept playing good football but failed to score again. Fin Robertson replaced Ben Williamson for the last 20 minutes and played fine. 

That's how the game finished and three vital points for the club. Next up it the home game against Airdrie at Dens this Saturday.
