Glasgow Celtic were sure to lead after the first two goals from Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard, but after a break the “hearts” managed to rise to a decisive round. In the 48th minute, Liamas Boyce had to make a substitution in the 67th minute.
During that time, Celtic took the lead again after Leigh Griffiths’ peaceful strike, but Joshui Ginnelly managed to rebalance himself again.
On the penalty shootout, Heart took the lead when Christie missed the third shot.
However, the team from the Scottish capital did not take this opportunity. Fourth and fifth forwards Stephen Kingsley and Craig Wighton couldn’t score, and Celtic’s shots were accurate.
In this game, the Hearts club paid tribute to its former captain. The panties of all the soccer players were marked with the number 26; this is exactly the number that M.Žaliūkas played in Edinburgh.
In 2012, for the last time, the Hearts had lifted the Scottish Cup trophies above their heads, and the captain of that team was M. Žaliūkas.
There was no shortage of Lithuanian accents before this year’s final. Before the game, Hearts reminded the fans of their captain in the video and left a special place in the locker room.
Such a place was left to M.Žaliūkas “Hearts” during the first matches of the team after the death of the Lithuanian.
The footballer died on October 31 from a treacherous illness.
