Hearts' hopes of reaching the league phase of the Europa League are all but over after a 6-1 first-leg defeat to Benfica in qualifying. The post Hearts boss Vrancken laments ‘stupid penalties’ in heavy Europa League defeat to Benfica appeared first on SoccerNews.
Benfica manager Marco Silva admits he watched on as Hearts came within minutes of a first top-flight title in more than 60 years so is aware of the dangers posed by the Tynecastle club.

To say it has been a difficult few months for Hearts would be the understatement of the year. Few will give the Tynecastle club much chance of returning from Lisbon with a positive result from the Europa League qualifying trip to face Benfica and it is easy to understand why.
