FC Zurich will play in the group stage of the Europa League. The Swiss champions won 1-0 in Edinburgh once morest Heart of Midlothian, having already won 2-1 in the first leg.
Barely entered the game, Rohner delivered the FCZ in the 80th, following a good job by Gnonto. Until this success, however, the visitors suffered a lot once morest the Scots, who were several times dangerous especially in the first half.
The momentum of the Hearts was a little slowed down by the expulsion of Grant in the 54th, due to a second card collected for a simulation. In numerical superiority, the Zurichers were then able to loosen the opponent’s grip little by little and go to score the goal which allowed them to finish the meeting without pressure.
