Kilmarnock 2-3 Hearts: Last-gasp Jambos win thriller
From that point Hearts didn’t just spare themselves a 90-minute exit with a late rally but actually won a tie that it had seemed they were always going to fail to do enough in - despite territorial advantage throughout a second period when manager Robbie Neilson gambled by pushing numbers forward.
A further 30 minutes of a pulsating cup tie seemed to be set up when Juanma threw himself forward to head in to make it 2-2 as the clocked ticked towards the final seconds. But, refusing to merely settle for giving themselves a second life on a night when Magennis seemed to have snuffed out their hopes in the competition when he drove in a low effort from the edge of the box to make it 2-1 with 74 minutes gone, Hearts kept going.
