Trabzonspor beat Hearts 2-0 after VAR rules out penalty appeal

Trabzonspor beat Hearts 2-0 after VAR rules out penalty appeal

Trabzonspor beat Hearts 2-0 in a match played in Trabzon on 22 October.

Salah opened the scoring from a penalty in the 32nd minute, and Dju doubled the lead in the 58th.

Earlier, Trabzonspor players appealed for a penalty after a cross by Salah struck Hearts player Jordi Altena’s hand in the box.

VAR ruled Salah offside, so the referee did not award a penalty and play restarted.

The decision mattered because it denied Trabzonspor a chance to score from the spot, although the team later took the lead.

Hearts were reduced to 10 players when Cabral was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 90th minute.

The match ended 2-0, and no further next steps are stated.
