Braga strikes as Hearts stay top after red-card drama | OneFootball

Hearts beat Dundee 1-0 at Dens Park on Sunday to remain top of the Scottish Premiership.

In the 27th minute, Cláudio Braga drove a right-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner after Lawrence Shankland teed him up.

After a VAR review, Alexander Schwolow's punishment was upgraded and he was sent off in the fifth minute of first half stoppage time. Moments later, Craig Gordon came on to take over in goal, replacing Braga.

Gordon made four saves, including late stops from Drey Wright and Emile Acquah, as Dundee pushed for a leveller against the 10 men.

Steven Pressley introduced Simon Murray and Imari Samuels (64.), and the Jambos were forced deep under a barrage of deliveries. Dundee tallied 17 attempts, with five on target. Hearts registered seven attempts and produced 49 clearances.
