FT: Hearts 2-0 Hibernian<\/p>\n
Andy Campbell<\/strong> Hearts consigned SWPL champions Hibernian to their first league defeat of the season in the Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle.<\/p>\n Georgia Timms confidently converted a penalty in the 69th minute and Jessica Husband lashed in a clinching second for the hosts with eight minutes left.<\/p>\n Earlier, Carly Johns almost robbed goalkeeper Noa Schumacher on the edge of the Hibs box but the American was able to recover.<\/p>\n Hibs forward Kathleen McGovern tested Rachael Johnstone at her near post and smacked the rebound into the side netting. Team-mate Eilidh Adams also headed over in the first half.<\/p>\n In the second period, Schumacher denied Johns at close range and Rosie Livingstone drew a save from Johnstone at the other end.<\/p>\n McGovern then had a header blocked by Johnstone and, almost straight away, Olufolasade Adamolekun’s bending shot was beaten out by Schumacher.<\/p>\n But Timms eventually found the net from 12 yards after Johns ran on to substitute Bayley Hutchison’s pass and was tripped by Schumacher.<\/p>\n Monica Forsyth had an effort saved by the Hibs keeper before sub Slattery laid on the chance for Husband to clinch the three points from the left-hand side of the box.<\/p>\n Hibs pushed for a consolation and McGovern’s free-kick in added time was narrowly over the crossbar.<\/p>\n Hearts move on to seven points from four games with Hibs on six points after three fixtures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hearts consign champions Hibs to first SWPL defeatpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 7 September 15:17 BST 7…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-407014","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115166970171495083","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
