Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken praised his players after watching them go toe-to-toe in a battling 1-1 draw with Portuguese giants Benfica.
The result restored some European pride following last week’s 6-1 Europa League third qualifying round first-leg defeat in Lisbon. Tomas Magnusson fired in a 77th-minute strike, but the lead lasted less than a minute after Dodi Lukebakio swept in an equaliser to wrap up a 7-2 aggregate victory.
