HALF-TIME
Hamilton Academical 1-0 Aberdeen
The first half ends with Ali Crawford testing Jamie Langfield from the edge of the Aberdeen box. That's been fairly typical of the hosts' approach in the first half while the Dons have looked shaky at the back. Tony Andreu's fifth goal of the season separates the sides at the midway point.
Post update
Couple of minutes plus stoppage time until half-time. Accies deservedly in front after such a strong opening.
CLOSE!

YELLOW CARD
Aberdeen midfielder Willo Flood is booked for dissent as the rain lashes down in Lanarkshire.
