    HT: Fiorentina 4-0 Hearts

    The co-efficient is taking an absolute battering this season. Mercifully it only takes results, and not scorelines, into account.

    I don't think the Hearts midfield have got to grips with some of the interchanges in play from the home side. You've got to complement the way Fiorentina have played, their passing has been great and their movement has been excellent

  3. HALF-TIME - Fiorentina 4-0 Heartspublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 13 October 2022

    A sobering half of football for Hearts. Believe it or not, Robbie Neilson's side could have been in front after 30 seconds.

    However, since Stephen Humphrys' effort came back off the post, it's been relentless from Fiorentina.

    Jovic, Biraghi, Gonzalez, and Barak have wrapped up the game by half-time.

    Not much has happened since the fourth goal, apart from a lot of Fiorentina possession.

    La Viola have been struggling for goals domestically. Playing a Scottish side in Europe this season seems a decent antidote.

    Antonin Barak

    Dearie me.

    Hearts are sliced open. Christian Kouame's cutback finds Barak who fires into the net.

    Craig Gordon got a hand to that one but couldn't keep it out. The Hearts keeper looks stunned at what's happening.

    Fiorentina 3-0 Hearts

    Craig Gordon leaps to his right to push away Nicolas Gonzalez's shot from the edge of the box.

    Fiorentina are enjoying themselves.

    Despite the fact their team are three goals down the Hearts fans are continuing their strong vocal support for the players.

    There is an obvious gap in quality and that hasn’t been lost on those who have travelled from all over to be here.

    They expect effort and it’s difficult to fault the players for that so far.

    Hearts had a couple of chances to get tackles in there, but you have to recognise it was a good move. It's a good, low finish underneath Craig Gordon

    Nicolas Gonzalez

    It's watching between the fingers time for Hearts fans.

    Fiorentina work it pretty easily into the box, and it's worked to the back post via Luka Jovic, and Gonzalez is there to sweep the ball home.

    Fiorentina 2-0 Hearts

    Fiorentina are languishing in 13th in Serie A, having been gubbed 4-0 by Lazio in their last outing.

    They're clearly loving the Conference League. And why not?

  13. CLOSE!published at 24 mins

    Fiorentina 2-0 Hearts

    Stephen Humphrys has been the bright spark for Hearts.

    He's played in behind and is just wide of the goal with a clear sight, but drags his shot just past the far post.

    We've got to admire the free kick, Craig Gordon has his wall in a perfect position and he manages to get it up and down. He's about 20 yards from the goal and it would probably be easier if it was further out to get it over the wall and in the net. The only question for me is whether it is actually a free kick or not.

    Cristiano Biraghi

    Magnificent free kick. But there's more than a dollop of controversy about it.

    Barrie McKay was penalised for a foul on the edge of his own box which looked soft to say the least.

    Up stepped captain Biraghi to curl a beautiful left-foot shot into the top corner.

    Hearts have a mountain to climb.

    Stephen Humphrys goes on a good driving run down the middle of the pitch.

    He lays the ball out to Jorge Grant, but his cross from the left is easily headed clear.

    Better from Hearts.

    Nathaniel Atkinson needs even more treatment. And this time, he won't be coming back on.

    Toby Sibbick is replacing the Australian. Another blow in defence for Hearts. Their problems keep mounting.

    It's all Fiorentina at the moment.

    A cross is headed to the feet of Rolando Mandragora who smashes a shot off the post.
