This
was a must win game for the Bairns against a
newly-promoted Hamilton side who'd had a
good start to the season with 9 points from
5 games.
Midway
through the first half, Falkirk created
their first opportunity when Higdon flicked
on for Steve Lovell, who's attempt at goal
was punched away by Cerny.
With
44 minutes on the clock, the opening goal
came. A great passage of play including 16
passes led to Graham firing the ball across
the box, which was to be met by the
outstretched boot of Steve Lovell.
Half
Time
Falkirk
1-0 Hamilton Accies
From
the start of the second half, Falkirk had
the huge majority of possession and chances.
Kevin McBride had a crack at goal from 25
yards, which was punched clear by Cerny in
full flight.
Hamilton
came extremely close to an equaliser, so
close, there fans started celebrating. David
Graham swung in a ball to the far post and
Steven Etienne's header smacked the post,
then McCarthur failed to connect with the
rebound.
