Hamilton Accies 2 Aberdeen 0

Jan 5 2009 By Richard Mooney

ACCIES are no longer at the bottom of the SPL following their victory against Aberdeen at the weekend.

After a goalless, quiet first half Simon Mensing hit home his first goal of the season from the penalty spot, following a foul on James McCarthy on 51 minutes.

Aberdeen fought back with efforts from Scott Severin and Jeffrey De Visscher both coming close.

Richard Offiong sealed the win for the Hamilton side when he put the ball past Jamie Langfield on 78 minutes.

However the striker’s celebrations were short lived as he was sent off for a second bookable offence after 90 minutes.
