    It's a fantastic finish to open up his body and find the top corner.

    Joe Newell doesn't get tight enough and it allows them the chance at goal.

    When you're in that defensive shape you have to stay tight.

    A great strike suddenly changes the mood at Easter Road.

    Out of nowhere, a shot from 25 yards sails past the diving Raphael Sallinger.

    Hibs have missed a load of chances and now their lead is down to one.

    It should be five...

    Owen Elding is guilty of a bad miss, tamely shooting at the goalkeeper when played clean through by Thibault Klidje.

    Thibault Klidje comes off the Hibs bench, replacing Nathan Lowe for the last 10 minutes or so.

    Hearts can start preparing for a Europa League qualifying meeting with Benfica.

    The Lisbon giants are 4-0 up on St Gallen now, 5-2 on aggregate.

    Vangelis Pavlidis with all four goals.

    It’s all about game management for David Gray and his players in the latter stages. Focus will now turn towards Sunday and their opening Premiership fixture against Motherwell.

    Malisheva have got to go for it but it doesn't look like they believe they can find a way back. Hibs have done a good job of keeping the visitors pinned back.

  8. 'Hibs defenders mopping up'published at 21:30 BST

    I think the three Hibs central defenders have been solid this evening.

    They've stepped in at the right moments and been aggressive.

    It's been comfortable at times, sure, but they've mopped up what they had to.

    Another slick sequence from Hibs culminates with Joe Newell slipping the ball into the path of Nathan Lowe but his powerful shot is saved well by the keeper at his front post.

    Oh, Nathan Lowe... The big striker on loan from Stoke should be celebrating a second goal but he doesn't seem to know much about it as the ball pings off his chest inside the six yard box and rolls into the goalie's gloves.

    A triple change for Hibs as Joe Newell, Chris Cadden and Azeem Abdulai enter the fray.

    Martin Boyle, Josh Mulligan and Adam Mayor get a rousing ovation as they make way.

    Josh Mulligan gets a flowing Hibs move started with some strong running and close control deep in his own half.

    Nathan Lowe carries on the good work but it comes to a disappointing end as Owen Elding fires straight at the goalie.

    A bit of magic!

    He dances through them, disguises it and then fires it low into the corner. What a finish.

    A wonderful solo goal from the skipper!

    Martin Boyle drifts through a cluster of blue shirts before dragging a low shot past the goalkeeper.

    Hibs have a two-goal cushion.

    The tempo has certainly dropped from the opening period of the game but Hibernian remain well on top and look far more the likelier to add to their tally than the Kosovans drawing level in the tie.

  16. 'Fantastic football'published at 21:15 BST

    Josh Mulligan can't quite get it into the back of the net but that is fantastic football from Hibs.

    That's a bit better from Hibs as Felix Passlack crosses for Nathan Lowe to get a header on target, although it's an easy save.

    Adam Mayor then does very well to set up Josh Mulligan but the midfielder's shot is blocked at the edge of the six yard box.

    Miguel Chaiwa with the tackle of the match, sliding in to steal the ball.

    Play is a bit sluggish at the moment, compared to the helter skelter pace of the first half.

    Martin Boyle scoots past three players in blue to help the ball across the pitch. It's played into the path of Owen Elding, who takes aim for the top corner, but fires his shot from 20 yards too high.
