Dundee
Hibernian
Outstanding performance
Hibernian•MidfielderHibernian dominated from start to finish, racking up 61% possession and creating four big chances to Dundee's one, and their control translated into goals through Martin Boyle's early opener and Callum Wright's clinical second-half strike. Dundee barely troubled the scoresheet with just three shots on target all game, relying on their goalkeeper to make five saves to keep the margin respectable. Joe Westley's stoppage-adjacent header in the 83rd minute, coming amid a flurry of late substitutions from both sides, gave the home crowd something to cheer but never threatened a genuine comeback against a Hibernian side that had already made their changes and shut up shop. The result keeps Hibernian's promising form intact while Dundee, sitting deep in the table, will be frustrated at how comfortably their visitors were able to dictate terms.
