- Jamie McCart put through an own goal in the 22nd minute when a simple back-pass evaded Beau Reus and slipped into the net, giving Thun the lead without real pressure.
- Stephen Kingsley stuck out a leg to clear Reichmuth’s cross, but the ball went straight to Brighton Labeau, who swept it in from 10 yards to double Thun’s lead.
- Furkan Dursun converted a Reichmuth cross in the 56th minute for 3-0, having already been denied twice by Reus moments earlier.
- Stuart Findlay headed in an 82nd-minute consolation from a Jordi Altena free-kick to make it 3-1; Dursun had earlier been booked for a forearm challenge into Findlay’s face.
- Matthew Gillies, 19, was called back from a loan spell at Stenhousemuir to replace injured captain Stephen Kingsley; Vrancken was already without 10 players through various ailments.
- Hearts ended their opening three Conference League games with one point from nine, following a 1-1 home draw with Nordsjaelland and a 2-0 away defeat to Trabzonspor.
- Wouter Vrancken said the performance was “not good enough in quality,” urged the squad to “stick together and keep working hard,” and said he remained proud of their run-up games.
Why it matters: Hearts have one point from nine after a 1-1 home draw with Nordsjaelland and a 2-0 loss at Trabzonspor. With 10 players absent through ailments and captain Stephen Kingsley forced off injured, Vrancken’s immediate demand was unity and work after a performance he said was not good enough in quality.
