RFS vs Hearts - LIVE score (Scottish Daily Record)

The Jambos are in Latvia looking to get their Europa Conference League campaign back on the rails after last weekend.

[Europa Conference League](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/europa-conference-league) group stage clash off the back of a string of below-par performances but return to Edinburgh with their first points of the campaign. [Robbie Neilson](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/robbie-neilson) reintroduced Craig Halkett to the line up after an injury layoff but he fell short and had to be replaced by 19-year-old Lewis Neilson after 20 minutes. Hearts look frightening when they click into gear. RFS will be in search of an equaliser and will be rueing hitting the posts as well as letting a huge chance pass them by in the first half. RFS have everyone back and the floated ball into the back post is headed away. This time it's Hearts turn and Alex Cochrane delivers it directly into the box but the RFS defender is first to it to clear. Lawrence Shankland has the ball in the net with a lovely chip over the keeper. Hearts win a corner at the other end. Like for like in the centre of midfield. What a counter-attack from Hearts as Alan Forrest grabs a second to seal the three points for the Gorgie side. The clock is ticking down for them as they look to salvage a point. The youngster didn't let the pressure get to him and was a standout.

RFS are just the second Latvian side in history to reach the group stage of a European competition. We have to do that for the full 90.” They are also on a 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. Robbie Neilson: “Riga sit in and hit you on the counter-attack because they are very well organised. Barring any injury issues, RFS boss Viktors Morozs will almost certainly be prepared to stick with the same XI from the draw at Fiorentina. RFS usually play at LNK Sporta Parks, a new sports complex which has a capacity of just 2,300.

Hearts will feel that this is an ideal opportunity to get back on the winning trail after six defeats in their last seven outings. Indeed, at their latest home match on Monday there were fewer than 200 fans inside the ground, although their draw away to Fiorentina last week has certainly caught the imagination of the locals with this evening's match now a 7,000 sell-out, with around 1,300 Hearts fans making the trip. Hearts' opponents Riga FS have moved all of their home matches in the Europa Conference League to the nearby Skonto Stadium as their own ground falls well short of Uefa requirements.

Some players’ emotions took over during a couple of heated exchanges in a chaotic ending to the first period. Referee Aleksandar Stavrev pointed to the spot and Shankland stepped up with a ruthless finish high into the top corner. Steinbors saved from Shankland, Kingsley and Halliday in quick succession before watching his manager ordered to the stand for excessive protesting at officials. Neilson broke free and Cammy Devlin charged forward to feed Forrest for another cool strike low into the corner. Hearts lost their influential centre-back Craig Halkett early in the match with what appeared to be a recurrence of his recent hamstring problem. Darkness fell long before this 10pm kick-off in the Latvian capital as Hearts sought light at the end of a frustrating tunnel. The modest Skonto Stadium is a similar size to Livingston’s Tony Macaroni Arena and around 1,300 travelling supporters arrived in good spirits making plenty noise. Ginnelly was enjoying a fine evening and skipped away from two opponents after collecting possession infield. It was a deserved result although the night was not without setbacks or nerves. Teenager Lewis Neilson was the replacement.
