It was a night of disappointment for Hearts as they crashed out of the Europa League despite dominating proceedings against Zurich.
Robbie Neilson's team trailed from the first leg and knew they needed a big performance in front of an expectant home crowd to advance past the Swiss champions. For the most part they did that, and yet it still wasn't enough as Jorge Grant's red card for simulation proved costly.
They dominated the first 45 with Liam Boyce, Lawrence Shankland and Alan Forrest all looking dangerous in an attacking lineup from Neilson. But they couldn't find a way through a resilient visiting back line that seemed to take more confidence from every attack they repelled.
