Hearts boss Wouter Vrancken was left to regret the "two stupid penalties" his side gave away in their 6-1 defeat to Benfica in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Europa League. Schjelderup scored a penalty in stoppage time, while Vangelis Pavlidis also netted from the spot in the first half as Hearts' poor start to the season continued. They have lost all four competitive games in 2026-27, and it was a deserved result against Benfica, who produced 3.65 expected goals (xG) to Hearts' 1.2. And it was sad that we give away two stupid penalties away. The result was important, to start taking players off, because some will play on Sunday and space is limited.
