Dimitar Mitov made six saves to keep Aberdeen in range. The Dons, though, failed to register a shot on target as the Jambos' back line controlled the penalty area.

After the restart, Mitchel Frame and Sivert Heltne Nilsen came on, but Aberdeen still struggled to create clear openings, while Hearts continued to threaten through Harry Milne and Braga.

Hearts finished with 21 attempts and 53.6% possession. Aberdeen mustered five attempts and made 50 clearances under pressure.
