Hibernian 0 Queen Of The South 1

Queen of the South secured their first away win since January 31 thanks to defender Mark Durnan's solitary strike in a 1-0 success at Hibernian. Durnan finished off a sweeping move by the visitors from close range early in the second half and Hibernian could not find a way back. Queen of the South striker Gavin Reilly went close to giving the visitors the lead inside the opening minute and visiting defender Kevin Holt was also wayward with two efforts as his side started the brighter. Queens striker Derek Lyle blazed wide before the break and after the restart substitute Lewis Kidd lashed an effort over the crossbar before the visitors made the breakthrough in the 47th minute. Durnan finished emphatically from close range, low into the centre of goal, following fine build-up play by the Doonhammers. Hibs striker Dominique Malonga rifled a shot over the crossbar when well placed in the 63rd minute and had a header saved by Queens goalkeeper Alexander Clark, who also denied home substitute Farid El Alagui.
