Just five minutes after Carson had saved well, he misjudged a corner and in his recovery attept he fouled a Hibs player to give them a penalty. They scored from it and Dundee done well to get to half time with it only 1-0.
Second half Dundee switched to 3-5-2 for the second half. Rickie Lamie and Michael Mellon replaced Dara Costelloe and Scott Tiffoney. They might have falled further behind before the changes could have any effect, but Boyle’s fierce 18 yard volley was superbly saved by Carson.
Then they got a break from VAR when Hibs scored again it looked okay but it was ruled out by VAR and it gave Dundee a chance to come into the game. They looked better going forward now with Josh Mulligan came on for Lyall Cameron.
Soon after Curtis Main and Malachi Boateng replaced Amadou Bakayoko and Mo Sylla. Main put the ball in the net but ruled out by VAR for offside.
Then after a Hibs spell Dundee scored when Luke McCowan took a touch and drove the ball home for a great goal. It gave everyone a lift as it was into the last 10 minutes of the game.
But only three minutes later Hibs scored in a break away goal, it looked bad from Dundee's point of view it was poor. It was enough to seal the points for the home team.
It was a good day out with fellow fife dark blues and it was good to see a game at Easter Road, one l have missed over the last few years.
