Tynecastle 0 Cowdenbeath 4

The Blue Brazil secured their fifth pre-season friendly win with a comfortable day in the capital.

The Central Park side have been in fine form, scoring 15 goals and conceding just twice in warm-up matches.

But Cowden will now face a tougher challenge in the Lowland League opener at Berwick this weekend.

At a rainy Meggetland, they faced a defensive Tynecastle side, but Zack Tomany's strike, assisted by skipper Jack Denham, broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time.

The Central Park side increased the pace in the second half, with Scott Cameron heading in a Stuart McDowell cross to extend the lead 52 minutes in.

Cameron added a second goal six minutes from time, with the assist coming from a trialist substitute.

The trialist capped off the win, scoring in stoppage time after player-boss Paul McLean set him up in the box.

The strong finish by the Blue Brazil has them in good stead for their upcoming league match.
