In the second period, the level of energy and excitement was not as high as in the first. However, Sarah Ewens managed to execute a precise counter-attack that caused Hibs to break down. Both speed and determination were crucial in this play.

During her 100th game with Hibs, Kirsty Morrison was appointed as captain and had a chance to score against Rangers. She managed to get past Victoria Esson, but her delicate shot was slowed down enough by Esson's fingertips, allowing the defenders to clear it.

Rio Hardy managed to net two goals towards the end of the game. One of those goals was scored thanks to a penalty awarded to Jane Ross, who had just come on as a substitute and had also scored a goal in between Hardy's brace. The penalty was given after Leah Eddie fouled Ross.

Hearts secured their position in the Scottish Cup's top four with a well-deserved single goal.

The team from Edinburgh has been doing well in terms of scoring goals. In fact, they scored 10 goals in the previous round against East Fife. However, it was Thistle who made the first attempt on goal. Clare Docherty took the shot, but Charlotte Parker-Smith, the goalkeeper, managed to catch it with ease.

During a recent match, Thistle became very concerned when a free kick was floated towards the Hearts' goal and almost resulted in an own goal. Unfortunately, despite the protests from Thistle players, their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.

The Hearts team made a strong effort during the first half of the match, but unfortunately, they struggled with making good decisions when they were close to scoring a goal. This caused their manager, Eva Olid, to make some changes to the team during halftime in order to try and improve their performance.

Jessica Husband, who came in as a substitute for Hearts, had a great chance at scoring when Thistle's Clare Docherty slipped in midfield and left the goal open. However, she was not able to make the connection and missed the opportunity.

Hearts needed to wait until the 86th minute before they managed to score. Ciara Grant did a great job with her free kick which floated beautifully, and it was Lizzie Waldie who managed to head the ball into the net and secure Hearts' spot in the semi-finals.

Celtic, the current Women's Scottish Cup champions, easily won their game at Links Park, scoring six goals against the opposing team.

In just the first 11 minutes, Kit Loferski's swift two goals helped Elena Sadiku's team take the lead towards the Hampden destination.

Lauren Perry's exceptional goalkeeping stopped the opposing team from scoring until right before halftime. At that point, Jenny Smith was able to get past Perry and score while facing her one-on-one.

Perry was awarded the player of the match title for her excellent performance. She managed to block a short-range attempt made by Celtic captain Caitlin Hayes right after the game had resumed. However, Shen Mengyu wasted no time in scoring the fourth goal for her team from a corner kick.

Shortly after Maria McAneny passed the ball, Hayes scored a goal for the team. Later, Montrose made a request for a penalty, believing that Louise Brown was knocked down by Sydney Cummings, a defender for Celtic. However, this appeal was denied.

With just seven minutes left in the game, Shen became the provider by sending the ball towards Murphy Agnew's direction. Agnew was able to turn the ball home, sealing the team's victory.
