Hamilton 2, Dunfermline 2: Moyo strikes twice to snatch a vital point for Accies

David Moyo was the hero as Hamilton Accies twice came back to snatch what could be a vital point against Dunfermline at New Douglas Park.

Moyo cancelled out Coll Donaldson's superb early opener in the first half with a controversial header, and nodded in from a Kieran MacDonald corner to level Steven Lawless' penalty.

That leaves the gap between the sides at seven points, meaning Dunfermline are still bottom and Accies can still look at the teams above them rather than having serious concerns - but they can't keep living dangerously like that.

Dunfermline may feel aggrieved at only taking a point, and will feel they should have had a penalty in first-half stoppage time, while Moyo's leveller was one that might not always have been allowed to stand.

Coll Donaldson's superb early opener was cancelled out by David Moyo's sixth goal of the season in a first half that otherwise didn't have much going on, though Stevie Lawless crashed a shot off the bar as Dunfermline tried to stretch their lead.

Hamilton started the second half well, but struggled to find a way past the Dunfermline defence.

The Pars soaked that up and when they raced up the other end, a tangle of legs between Ellis Brown and Josh Edwards inside the box earned them a penalty, which former Motherwell star Steven Lawless smashed into the net.

It looked like the points were heading to Fife, but Moyo bagged his seventh of the season from a Kieran MacDonald corner, and if anything Accies probably should have taken all three points in the end.

Hamilton head coach Stuart Taylor made two changes to the side that lost at Kilmarnock last weekend. Brown made his first start, in place of Andy Ryan, while Jamie Hamilton came in for Reegan Mimnaugh.
