Ben Broggio marked his first Scottish Premiership start with the winning goal as Falkirk defeated Dundee 1-0 at Falkirk Stadium. The Aston Villa loanee scored in the 55th minute with a volley after the visitors failed to clear a delivery into the box. Yan Dhanda missed a stoppage-time penalty for Dundee, firing wide after Joe Bevan was fouled by substitute goalkeeper Nicky Hogarth.

Falkirk's victory levels them on points with fifth-placed Hibernian, though Hibs maintain a superior goal difference. Dundee remain only three points clear of Kilmarnock in 11th place. The match saw Falkirk make five changes following their Scottish Cup win over Stenhousemuir, while Dundee stuck with the same XI that pushed Celtic to extra time at the weekend.

Despite poor conditions and a lack of early action, Broggio showed promise from the start with an early shot. Dundee grew into the game but couldn't capitalize on their chances, with Cameron Congreve and Simon Murray both failing to trouble Hogarth. The win provides Falkirk momentum as they push for a European spot, while Dundee must regroup after missing a late chance to salvage a point.
