Chiakha and Diks secure 2-0 victory over Hearts

Goals from Amin Chiakha and Kevin Diks secured a well-deserved victory over Heart of Midlothian in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday, in front of more than 24,000 fans in Parken.

The Lions dominated the opening throes, with both Robert and Mohamed Elyounoussi having chances. While the Scots came into the game later on, they never threatened Nathan Trott between the sticks.

Chiakha saw a penalty appeal turned down before the break, but he got his reward for a diligent performance three minutes into the second half. He reached out to tap home a rebound after Elyounoussi's initial shot was saved, following a great run from the Norwegian.

That was the signal for a new siege of the Hearts goal, and despite several big chances, the Lions had to be patient as they sought a second . It eventually came 12 minutes from time, when Chiakha was felled by Hearts' goalkeeper. Diks stepped up and calmly finished to secure the result.

Next up for FCK is one last match in Parken for 2024 on Sunday, when the Lions face Kolding in the Danish Cup quarter-final second leg. The match kicks off at 4pm and tickets are on sale now!
