EDINBURGH, Scotland (Interstat) — Heart of Midlothian opened its Scottish Premiership campaign with a 3-1 comeback victory over Motherwell at Tynecastle Park on Saturday.

Motherwell substitute Emmanuel Longelo broke the deadlock in the 50th minute, but the lead was short-lived. Hearts responded with Cláudio Braga equalizing in the 61st minute. Landry Kaboré sealed the win in second-half stoppage time, scoring in the 92nd minute after assisting on Braga’s goal.

The result defied a pre-match projection that favored Motherwell. Paul McGinn and Ibrahim Said received yellow cards for Motherwell, while Kaboré was booked for Hearts after his goal.

Hearts begins the season with a win, while Motherwell starts with a loss.
