Cowdenbeath FC 1  Heart of Midlothian 1

After losing a goal after just 43 minutes we got a deserved equaliser eight minutes from the break when Craig Johnston netted for the second successive match.

 

The match opened in dramatic fashion when Sow flicked the ball on to Billy KING on the wing and he ran in on goal and blasted an angled shot past the trialist keeper.

 

Spence with an overhead kick and the trialist forward both had chances but neither troubled Hamilton in the visiting goal.

However with 37 minutes gone the trialist winger sent over a cross into the visitors box and Craig JOHNSTON side footed the ball home from close range.

 

The visitors made wholesale changes for the second half with only Daniel Baur and Dario Zanatta surviving from the original line up.

 

The second half also saw Colin Nish utilise six subs in a half which saw chances few and far between.
