Overview
- Claudio Braga scored in the first half after a quickly taken free-kick that Dundee argued was taken from the wrong spot or with a moving ball.
- Referee Ryan Lee showed Alexander Schwolow a straight red card for denying a scoring opportunity following a VAR review that overturned an initial offside flag.
- Craig Gordon replaced Schwolow for his first Hearts appearance of the season and, at 43, produced a stoppage-time save to preserve the lead.
- Gordon denied substitute Emile Acquah with a reflex stop from a close-range header deep into added time.
- Hearts finished with ten men at Dens Park yet secured three points to maintain first place in the Scottish Premiership.
