Cowdenbeath 0 Heart of Midlothian 2

Scottish League Cup – Group A – Tuesday 16^th
July 2019 – Central Park

Hearts
went to the top of Group A of the Betfred Scottish League Cup with a
straightforward 2-0 victory over League Two side Cowdenbeath at Central Park.

Early
first half goals from Craig Halkett – on his Hearts debut – and youngster
Anthony McDonald were enough to seal the three points.

As
expected Hearts dominated the game from start to finish. Defender Halkett put
the visitors in front in the 8^th minute with a powerful header before
McDonald finished off a fine Hearts move by sliding the ball home in the 22^nd
minute.

Despite
making several chances, Hearts didn’t manage to add to their lead.

Hearts
next game in the Betfred Cup is next Wednesday, 24^th July, when they
take on Stenhousemuir at Tynecastle.
