Dundee vs Hibernian

Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were the better side in the first half and deservedly went in ahead at the break, having settled quicker and made their control count with the opening goal. Dundee needed a response after the interval and got themselves back into things, but Hibernian held their nerve and found a second to restore their cushion just when the home crowd started to sense a leveller. That second goal proved decisive. Dundee pushed hard in the closing stages and got a goal back to make for a nervy finish, but it came too late to change the outcome. For Hibernian, it's a result that will do plenty for confidence on the road, while Dundee will be frustrated at falling behind so early and having to chase the game for long spells. Three points move Hibernian in the right direction; Dundee will look to put this one behind them quickly.
