Hearts B took an early lead on thirteen minutes. Kai Smutek sends it long down the right. Mikey Andrews comes of his line and Greg Page doesn’t deal with the ball forward. Connor Dow nips in between them and stabs it home for the opening goal. Broxburn draw level on eighteen minutes. Euan Glasgow fouls Jamie Docherty just outside the box on the left. The free kick, taken by Jamie Docherty creates a scramble in the box, which Hearts only get half clear as far as Errol Douglas whose shot finds the bottom right corner. It was the visitors who regained the lead on thirty-two minutes. Gus Stevenson plays in Euan Glasgow who slots past keeper Andrews, putting the wee Jambos 2-1 up at the half time break.
Two minutes into the second half, Broxburn equalised. A deep cross from the left by Marcus Lavery bounces in the box before Jon Robertson heads high into the net. Three minutes later, Broxburn take the lead. What a reaction by the Badgers. A long throw on the right is headed clear as far as Scott McRory Irving who on the volley finds the right corner from 25 yards. Hearts B get on level terms on eighty-two minutes. Kai Smutek finds Bobby McLuckie in plenty space. The Hearts winger drives forward and his shot hits of Jon Robertson and sends Mikey Andrews the wrong way.
