Cláudio Braga settled it in the 28th minute with a low right-footed finish, giving Hearts a 1-0 win over Aberdeen. The forward is now on 12 Premiership goals, third in the scoring chart.

He met Pierre Kaboré's pass on a fast break and tucked it into the bottom left, the move that broke open a tight game.

After the restart, he forced Dimitar Mitov into a save from close range (53.). He then slipped in Harry Milne for a shot that was clawed away (60.).

Braga finished with seven attempts, three on target, and three chances created, constantly occupying central spaces and giving the Jambos a platform to play higher.

His understanding with Kaboré on transitions, plus five aerial duels won, kept The Dons' back line unstable. He was still a threat when his drive was blocked (82.).

Hearts visit Kilmarnock next in the Premiership. The Dons host Celtic.
