Solid Backline The shot-stopper Alexander Schwolow, who had made a brilliant stop from Nygren in the first half, parried an Arne Engels shot which flicked off Magnússon. Craig Halkett blocked a Shin Yamada attempt in stoppage time. Hearts were otherwise untroubled as the game concluded. “We shall not be moved” has become the popular anthem at the stadium.
