Hearts secure 2-1 comeback win vs Dundee

Hearts secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Dundee at Tynecastle on Saturday, September 5, 2026, with a stoppage-time winner from substitute Sabah Kerjota. The win extended Hearts' unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions and marked their fourth consecutive league victory, propelling them to second place in the Premiership standings. The home side found themselves trailing at halftime after Bradley Fink opened the scoring for Dundee in the 17th minute. Hearts struggled for rhythm in the first half, a performance manager Wouter Vrancken described as not good enough, particularly following the euphoria of their recent derby win against Hibernian. The momentum shifted late in the second half. In the 84th minute, Hearts were awarded a penalty after a VAR review determined Dundee's Owen Bevan handled a cross. Claudio Braga converted the spot-kick to equalize. The match took another turn when Dundee's Zan Besir was sent off in the opening minutes of stoppage time. With the match deep into added time, Sabah Kerjota found the far corner with a low finish in the sixth minute of stoppage time, securing all three points for Hearts.
