Hearts are likely to play FC Zurich of Switzerland in the Europa League play-offs unless Northern Irish side Linfield provide a major shock.
The pair contested a third round qualifier on Thursday night and the winner goes on to play Robbie Neilson's men later this month for a place in the group stages. Zurich were heavy favourites in this tie and that has been proven with their comfortable 2-0 win over David Healy's men in Belfast.
Tosin Aiyegun put the Swiss visitors in front after only eight minutes with a fine finish from inside the penalty box. Robbie McDaid and Eetu Vertainen came close to flipping the script and levelling things up either side of the half-time whistle. But teenage Italian forward Wilfried Gnonto doubled Zurich's lead just after the hour mark to provide them full control ahead of next week's home tie. The loser drops into the Europa Conference League.
