FC Zurich 2-1 Hearts
Craig Levein
Former Hearts manager on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageHearts have caused their own problems by sitting back for the last five minutes. Again they don't clear. The last thing you want to be doing in these conditions is defending your own box.
Blerim Dzemaili
Two goals in two minutes.
A low ball into the Hearts box isn't dealt with and Blerim Dzemaili leathers in a devastating finish into the top-right corner.
What a turnaround.

Quote MessageIt's so simple. A long ball from the goalkeeper, the run is in to out, and Atkinson heads it up in the air and the striker is quicker to react. It's a really good finish.
Adria Guerrero
It's cheap from Nathaniel Atkinson, who nods the ball back the way under pressure and Adria Guerrero turns in on the spin and on the volley.
Superb finish but so avoidable from a Hearts point of view.

That Shankland penalty has opened the game up.
It's settled Hearts in a way but Zurich now look more dangerous.

Shouts for another penalty as Lawrence Shankland goes down under a challenge.
The shouts are tame in all honesty.

Quote MessageIt's a great save from Craig. Peter Haring got caught with the ball under his feet and Zurich robbed him.
FC Zurich 0-1 Hearts
Craig Gordon doing Craig Gordon things.
Peter Haring has the ball nicked off him and Zurich are off three on two.
The ball is rolled to Dzemaili, who rattles towards goal but Gordon gets a strong, strong left hand to it.
Hearts then survive the corner.

There was a fair bit of time for Shankland to wait before he had the chance to hit that as well.
Nerves of steel.

Quote MessageHe's caught Atkinson on the ankle with a fair bit of force. The goalkeeper guesses correctly but there was so much pace on the ball from Lawrence Shankland it's past him by the time he gets down.
Lawrence Shankland (pen)
Pinpoint stuff!
Lawrence Shankland couldn't have hit that any better. The keeper goes the right way, but the Hearts man buries low into the bottom-left corner.
What a start for the Scottish visitors.

Nathaniel Atkinson takes a set of studs to the top of his ankle and the referee eventually points to the spot.
FC Zurich 0-0 Hearts
What a dig!
It's straight at Craig Gordon, who gathers at the second attempt, but Dzemaili stings the Hearts keeper's palms with a long-range free-kick which is leathered towards goal.
FC Zurich 0-0 Hearts
Dzemaili bends in a ball from the right and it's just out of reach for the stretching Viunnyk.
All a bit easy that for Zurich.
FC Zurich 0-0 Hearts
Zurich midfielder Marchesano attempts one with the outside of his boot from the edge of the Hearts box and it drops about a yard wide.
Craig Gordon had it covered.
FC Zurich 0-0 Hearts
Really good play between Cammy Devlin and Jorge Grant in midfield and it starts to open up for Hearts.
But Lawrence Shankland can't find Barrie McKay charging down the left. Better though.

Quote MessageI think the intention from Hearts was to sit high and play them offside, and it worked. We'll see if they continue with it.
FC Zurich 0-0 Hearts
A scare for Hearts as a Zurich head nods wide from a deep free-kick.
Flag was up anyway. The away defence held their line well.
FC Zurich 0-0 Hearts
Incidentally, it looks like Stephen Kingsley has moved to the centre of the Hearts back three.
