Chapter 252 Vs HEARTS (5)

[61] As the match resumed, Hearts looked determined to bounce back quickly from their setback. The equalizer had given them a surge of confidence, but Rakim's goal seemed to have taken the wind out of their sails momentarily. Still, they pressed forward with renewed energy, keen on restoring parity once again.

[64] Hearts were awarded a free kick just outside the Celtic penalty area after a clumsy challenge by Bitton on Djoum. Bozanic, brimming with confidence from his earlier penalty, stood over the ball. The tension was palpable as the referee's whistle blew. Vanecek curled the ball around the wall, aiming for the top corner, but Bain was equal to the task, diving to his right and tipping the ball over the bar.
