Hamilton started strongly, taking an early two-goal lead to assert their dominance. East Kilbride, to their credit, fought back bravely and scored twice to level the match, causing a potential upset. However, Hamilton Academical regrouped and showed their professional edge, scoring two more goals in the final twenty minutes to secure a 4-2 win and avoid a cup shock.
