Hearts Secure Crucial Win Over Dundee

0:00Here's more Edinburgh news for March 21st. Hearts grab the crucial 1-0 win over Dundee at Time Castle, thanks to a late header for Moiseen Maccontain. The goal came in the 77th minute off for free kick by Mark Leonard, with Dundee keeper John McCracken getting a hand to it, but not enough to. Keep it out. That strike puts the jam-tarts top of the William Hill premiership, heading into the international break. The match was a tight affair, with few clear chances for either side. Hearts dominated possession, but wasted a big opportunity when Landry Cabourry missed one-on-one with the keeper late in the first half. Dundee stayed disciplined and threatened on the counter, but couldn't break through. Big defender Frankie Kent picked up a second yellow card for Hearts in Stoppage Time, leaving them down to ten men. Still, the home side held on to end Dundee's five-game unbeaten run, and claimed three vital points. Dundee boss Steven Presley, a former Hearts captain, called it a fiercely contested game and lamented his team's failure to finish chances.

1:03Hearts manager Derek McKinnis praised his squad for being the better side overall, though he wants more dominance in attack. With seven games left this season, the narrow victory serves as a perfect boost after last weekend's loss at Kilmarnaq. Hearts now look ahead to their next clash at Livingston on April 5th at 2pm, riding high into the break.
