Hearts
Hearts and Benfica will meet 13 August 2026 at 14:45 EDT / 11:45 PDT in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. The game will take place at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh.
The toothless defensive display from the Scottish side put paid to their involvement in Europe's top competitions. Hearts conceded six against Benfica in Lisbon (1:6) — you do not come back into a match against top opposition from that kind of deficit.
