Hamilton 1-3 Falkirk: Leaders Stretch Advantage

Hamilton's home advantage wasn't enough to stop Falkirk from extending their lead at the top of the Championship.

The Bairns went into the match with a two-point lead over their rivals, and they showed why they're the league's best team with a deserved victory. They started the game strongly and took the lead in the 21st minute when a great ball by Aidan Keena was headed home by Callumn Morrison.

Bairns Dominate in Second Half

Hamilton tried to get back into the game in the second half, but Falkirk were just too strong. They doubled their lead in the 64th minute when Jamie McCart headed in from a corner. Hamilton did get a consolation goal in the 80th minute when David Moyo volleyed home, but Falkirk wrapped up the win in the 88th minute when Kai Kennedy finished off a counter-attack.

The win means that Falkirk now have a five-point lead at the top of the table, and they look unstoppable. Hamilton, on the other hand, have lost ground in the title race. They still have a lot of football to play, but they're going to need to find some form if they want to challenge Falkirk for the championship.

Key Takeaways

• Falkirk are the real deal. They've got a great squad and a very good manager. They're playing some fantastic football, and they look like the team to beat.
• Hamilton need to find their spark. They've got a talented squad, but they haven't been able to put it all together consistently. They need to start winning games if they want to stay in the title race.
• The Championship is heating up. With Falkirk running away with the league, the battle for the other promotion spots is going to be intense.

This win keeps Falkirk on the path to promotion, and while Hamilton still have a shot at the title, it's becoming increasingly difficult to catch the runaway leaders.
