Edinburgh's team failed to advance to the final of the Scottish Football League Cup (CIS Insurance Cup). In yesterday's match, Hearts were forced to admit Motherwell's superiority after extra time with a score of 3-2.
Much more confidence is gaining the young Lithuanian national team defender, who played this time from the very beginning of the match until the final whistle. The Lithuanian was cautioned in the 38th minute.
Hearts were behind almost the entire main match time. After Stephen Craigan's goal in the 20th minute and Richie Foran's penalty in the 78th minute, the hosts led 2-0.
However, Hearts managed to fight back. In the 85th minute, the new recruit Mark Burchill reduced the deficit. Shortly after, on the last minute of the second half, the score was equalized by the also recently arrived player, Icelandic Hjalmar Thorarinsson, who was celebrating his 19th birthday in January.
Unfortunately, on the 120th minute, the winning goal was scored by the home team's player Marc Fitzpatrick.
By the way, one of the team's owners, V. Romanov, further increased his stake in the club. The Lithuanian businessman acquired about 4.3 million litas worth of shares, purchased an additional 19.6 percent of shares, and increased his share to 29.9 percent. After this deal, V. Romanov became the largest shareholder of the Scottish club.
