00:00Jonathan, job half done but only half done as David Gray has been at pains to point out
00:06and with further work to do to ensure Hibs take the place in the playoff round
00:12and Edge a step closer to the league stage.
00:20Practice the road once again on a European night, it's such a wonderful sight to see.
00:24And here's the man who has put Hiburnian on the precipice of the playoff round.
00:34That injury suffered by Jamie McGrath forces the manager into one change from the first legs
00:39with Josh Campbell coming in to the starting eleven.
00:42Nicky Carden is fit again and takes his place on the bench.
00:47Partizan bounce back from the first leg, disappointment with a resounding 7-2 away win in the league at the weekend
00:52and Valdank Korsic, who scored two in that game, earns a start along with Stefan Milic
00:57who replaces the suspended Djurgievic.
01:00Demar Sek is the other player dropping out from a week ago.
01:06Confirmation there of that Partizan line-up.
01:10He scored his 100th and indeed 101st, Hiburnian goal did Martin Boyle out in the Serbian capital.
01:24He went back against him, playing a major role once more this evening
01:30as he makes his way to the centre circle.
01:32The officials led by the Bulgarian Radoslav Kijenov.
01:45We'll talk about the likes of Belgrade being a hotbed of football.
01:51It's a hotbed inside Easter Road tonight, an electric atmosphere.
01:54giving Partizan a team with five teenagers in the line-up,
02:02just three players over the age of 22.
02:06It may not be something many of them have experienced before on their travels
02:12as they seek to overturn the Hiburnian's two-goal advantage.
02:17Wonderful atmosphere, can't overstate that.
02:30Can't Hiburnian use it to their advantage.
02:36It will be the home side in the shape of Josh Campbell to get us underway.
02:42Just waiting for the final signal here, and then we will be off and running.
03:02As Hiburnian look to book their place in the playoff round
03:06as Catmull throws it all the way back to his goalkeeper, Jordan Smith.
03:09And we are underway.
03:13Home leg heartache last time out against Michelin in the Europa League.
03:22But Michael Stewart-Hibs have put themselves in a terrific position
03:26to progress this time around.
03:28Yeah, absolutely.
03:29I mean, look, you heard Scott Allen talking about the performances against Michelin
03:33and as good as they were, it was obviously a slight disappointment
03:37that they weren't able to see their way leg through with the lead that they had
03:42getting pegged back to a draw.
03:44Performed brilliantly here at Easter Road as well
03:46and they've been undone by some absolute wonder strikes.
03:49But going to Partizan, they've done even better.
03:53Coming back to Easter Road with a 2-0 lead
03:57and also just a team full of confidence.
04:03Albeit, they did suffer a little bit of a setback, you would have to say, at the weekend.
04:07I think most people would have backed them at 2-0 up here against Kilmarnock
04:11to go and secure all three points.
04:13But Killy had other ideas.
04:15But by and large, as Michael says, this is a Hibs team on the up.
04:23They have been since late last year.
04:28And that's why they take their place in European football.
04:32And hopefully, Scotland might even have five representatives in European competition proper
04:40by the time that comes around.
04:47Partizan, you would have to imagine, need the first goal in this game tonight
04:53to make a real contest of it.
05:00That's a nice flick by Jovanovic and Partizan.
05:04Look, somewhat unfortunate not to get the free kick on the edge of the Hibs box to me there.
05:10I think you're being overly generous there.
05:14Rocky Bashir is just simply standing his ground there.
05:19There's a nice flick around the corner, true, but you know and you expect that.
05:23As we were saying last week over in Belgrade,
05:27the Balkan countries are very, very good technically.
05:31But you know you can get under their skin if you frustrate long enough.
05:35And that's certainly what Hibs did last week.
05:40Here's Martin Boyle.
05:45That's a good ball for Kade and that should have been the opening goal.
05:50Inside three minutes, a glorious opportunity spurned.
05:53He's got to score now.
05:58He's got to score.
05:59What an opportunity that was.
06:04Take another look at that shortly, but Hibs come again.
06:08Might not need to look back at it.
06:10Boyle this time can't pick out a team-mate
06:11and gathered in by Milosevic.
06:21Certainly you don't get too many chances of that quality
06:24in European games.
06:27Certainly all on, Hibs could have put the game beyond Partizan.
06:35As it is.
06:37Still goal-less.
06:44You can see the way they've set up.
06:45It's not so much a front two with Josh Campbell sitting in behind.
06:50Just Campbell and Martin Boyle either side
06:53just trying to make sure they've got enough players
06:57in those areas either side of the striker
07:01to be able to block off any attacks.
07:05Handball there.
07:06And a free kick goes Hibernian's way.
07:09Well, you've got to say
07:12that a little bit fortunate here.
07:17Milosevic has not picked up a yellow card
07:19because it's a deliberate handball.
07:22Just a wonderful opportunity.
07:24It wasn't the best of crosses.
07:25He's choked it a little bit, Martin Boyle.
07:27But it lands right at Chris Carden's feet
07:30and he's got plenty of time there.
07:33Not renowned for goal-scoring these days.
07:35Chris Carden didn't score at all last season.
07:37But there's Alvita saying that just too long.
07:43Good to see his brothers back on the bench as well.
07:47Obviously, Nicky Carden was a huge asset to Hibs last season
07:50and latterly picked up an injury
07:53that curtailed things slightly.
07:57But you'd imagine that this season again
07:59he's going to be a huge player for Hibs.
08:02Really looking forward to him and Kieran Bowie linking up
08:05because it's something that you can almost see in your mind's eye.
08:11Him firing down the left, swinging balls in
08:13and Kieran Bowie getting on the end of it.
08:19I'm pretty sure that David Gray is thinking about that as well.
08:22Yeah, Nicky Carden came on in the second leg against Michelin.
08:29His first appearance of the season.
08:34But Siri should just get there.
08:35That's a slightly rash clearance, but he gets away with it.
08:41There's an offside flag up.
08:42I was just going to say, Nicky Carden came on and got injured in that Michelin game.
08:49And this is him just back once more.
08:52Well, you can see that clearly Kostic is offside there,
08:56but at the same time, what it does is...
08:59Actually, I think it was Trifinovic that's over on the other side there.
09:05But regardless, what it does do,
09:07it just breeds that little bit of nervousness.
09:11John Smith not being commanding.
09:14The weekend was a little bit similar.
09:16There was a few moments where just a little bit concerning.
09:19It's Luganovic back with Milic who came on in that first leg at half-time
09:46after the red card of Djordjevic,
09:50which certainly helped Hibs there on the upper hand.
09:56Ljudevic for Bogdan Kostic.
10:04Campbell flies into the challenge and wins the ball.
10:08And now Hibs can come forward.
10:09Bowie with a good pass for Obita.
10:11Looks up here.
10:12Has got too many options in the middle just yet.
10:14Probably wisely checks back.
10:24Hibs quickly switched to play.
10:26Now it's Caden.
10:28Now he just couldn't bring it under control as he backed in.
10:31Lost his balance.
10:35That's it.
10:36Airedale.
10:37Mistake from him.
10:38Chance here for Milozovic.
10:40Bashiri's done well to hold him up.
10:42He's not getting any support.
10:43Does he need it?
10:45Yes, he does.
10:46And Bashiri with good strength.
10:50And the Hibs fans have grown to adore Rocky Bashiri.
10:54He's a transformed character.
10:57Transformed player for what he offers to Sabernian side.
11:01And he dug Jack Airedale out of a hole here.
11:16The Hibs fans sing Rocky Bashiri's name.
11:22Rocky Bashiri when he's in the centre of the back three.
11:25It just suits him so much better.
11:27You see when Airedale gets the ball here.
11:30Big mistake.
11:31But what Rocky Bashiri's got is great athleticism and strength as well.
11:36And in those moments that's where he's shown, as you just mentioned,
11:40to really turn around his career at Hibs.
11:42But as you saw at the weekend,
11:44and probably the reason why previously playing on a back four never really suited him,
11:48just gets dragged into wider areas.
11:51The first goal against Kamarnik was a prime example.
11:55When he gets dragged into those areas and he's 1v1,
11:57that's when problems can happen.
11:59But playing central in the back three, it suits him perfectly.
12:04Defending his box.
12:06You can see Martin Boyle getting dragged down there.
12:08Free kick.
12:09Dregoyevich the captain.
12:13Gets away with that one.
12:15Other than the free kick, which is taken.
12:17He's a beat up.
12:18Leavitt makes a move.
12:21Just opens up the space for a beat up.
12:25Boyle.
12:26That wasn't kept in.
12:27I thought he managed to do so, but the flag is up for the goal kick.
12:42I know you mentioned it before, and you're absolutely spotting.
12:44You can't overstate
12:45how noisy it is at Easter Road now.
12:50And that, so much credit to the team and to David Gray,
12:55because I think as you heard,
12:57Louie and Scott talking about it's been a while at Easter Road
13:03when it's been as raucous and passionate.
13:07A sellout crowd again.
13:10Club's in a pretty good place.
13:12It's Kostich.
13:13It's Kostich.
13:20It's Kostich.
13:21Carden's got his hand up for offside.
13:22Play continues.
13:24Kostich can't find a teammate.
13:26Now the flag goes up on the far side.
13:28That's very tight, by the way.
13:38Rocky Bashiri looked as if he was perhaps playing on one side.
13:47Yeah, had that ended up in the back of the net,
13:49and it would have been a tight decision for VAR to unravel.
13:54As it is, free kick goes Hibbs' way,
13:57and the two-goal aggregate lead remains intact.
14:00Some excellent news filtering in from Tanadice
14:12as Dundee United have gone in front in the tie.
14:15They lead by 1-0 on the night,
14:17with Waters getting on the score sheet again.
14:21And so that is 3-2 in aggregate against Rapid Vienna,
14:25and if they could progress from that tie,
14:27that would be a really phenomenal achievement
14:29for Jim Goodwin's side.
14:31It really would.
14:32Brilliant news.
14:33Long may it continue.
14:35And you've got to say, at the moment,
14:38Jim Goodwin is really having to contend
14:40with an extensive injury list
14:42and a packed fixture list at the moment.
14:46So great news from Tanadice that they're 1 in front.
14:59As things stand, all five Scottish clubs involved
15:03in the play-off round of the three competitions next week.
15:10Let's hope it stays that way as O'Horra prepares to
15:13throw another long one in.
15:16It's won initially by Campbell,
15:17then he wins it again.
15:18It's a clever knock down to Cadden,
15:20who will try again.
15:21That was a tougher opportunity.
15:22also blocked.
15:24Boyle ambitious from the edge of the box as well.
15:27Still a little bit of confusion, though, in there
15:28in the partisan ranks.
15:31Before they do get it clear.
15:32And to Bowie it comes.
15:39Again, it's a really good hold-up play.
15:43Continues to impact.
15:44A bit, I couldn't quite catch that.
15:46Just gave himself too much to do.
15:48But, Micah, I know you like to enthuse about Kieran Bowie,
15:51but it is entirely justified, you'd have to say.
15:55Absolutely.
15:56I don't know when I've ever enthused
15:57and it's not been entirely justified.
16:00And that's another great bit of play from
16:01Kieran Bowie there.
16:03Just showing all the attributes that
16:06he has and that he's been
16:09able to show.
16:12Injury-free strength.
16:14Great control.
16:15And he's got really good awareness and vision
16:17of those that are around him.
16:24Noise level just
16:25ratchets up a notch or two
16:28inside Easter Road.
16:29No goals yet.
16:34And Hibs looking
16:34in control
16:36just at the moment.
16:41You can be sure that David Gray
16:43will have his players
16:45primed not to be taking anything
16:47for granted in the tie.
16:48You can just tell, I mean,
16:51even this little phase of play,
16:53how well drilled Hibs are in regards to
16:55shutting down
16:56and forcing Partizan back.
16:59And as soon as that ball was going back
17:00towards Milosevic and goal,
17:02the whole team's squeezing up.
17:05Very, very good.
17:07And clearly worked on
17:09shutting off passing angles
17:10and doing a lot of hard work,
17:12Hibs off the ball.
17:15There's Kostic.
17:17For the full back,
17:18Jurcevic,
17:19but he's
17:19robbed the possession.
17:21And Boyle
17:22for a lovely turn away.
17:25Accelerates over the halfway line.
17:27Campbell's made the run
17:28outside of him.
17:29Levitt coming to join
17:35the Hibs attack.
17:36Here he is.
17:39He and Ovita
17:40are exchanging passes.
17:42They both came into the team
17:43towards the end of last season
17:44and have held down their places
17:46at the start of this one.
17:55The thing that Hibs did
17:57really well last week
17:58and they've started
17:59tonight as well as
18:01they're backing numbers
18:03and making sure
18:04they're difficult to break down.
18:05But as soon as they win
18:05the ball back,
18:07there's no
18:08panic.
18:10There's no nervousness.
18:12They're fully concentrating
18:13getting that first pass away
18:14and allowing them to build
18:15an attack
18:16rather than just slashing
18:17at things
18:18and trying to clear it
18:19and allowing Partizan
18:20to build momentum.
18:22I'll deal with a
18:23long throw this time.
18:26They're away by Millitz.
18:28There's Boyle.
18:33Time to look up.
18:34Measured across.
18:35Looking for Bashiri.
18:37Doesn't quite reach him.
18:38Campbell was claiming
18:38he was being pulled
18:39at the back post.
18:48Partizan.
18:48a very famous name
18:50in Europe for sure.
18:53Perhaps not quite the side
18:54they once were.
18:56They are having to
18:57build with a lot of youth
18:59as I mentioned already
19:00involved here.
19:02They are having to do it.
19:12They are having to do it.
19:13Both involved
19:14in the very first
19:16European Cup.
19:18back in 55-56.
19:23No shortage of decent players
19:38in today's ranks though.
19:40And that's a good effort
19:41and that should not
19:42have found his way
19:42to go but it has.
19:45That's a big mistake
19:46from Jordan Smith.
19:48But a terrific strike
19:49from Milan Vukotic.
19:51And he has reignited
19:52Partizan hopes
19:54in this tie.
19:54You're absolutely spot on.
20:01The goal does
20:02reignite things but
20:03I'm sorry
20:04you can't look
20:06much further
20:07than the goalkeeper here.
20:08This ball should not
20:09be going in the back
20:10of the net.
20:11He's got a clear sight
20:12of it all the way.
20:13He gets two hands to it.
20:14The ball doesn't move.
20:18Simply should not be
20:19anywhere near
20:19the back of the net.
20:20It's a clean strike
20:25yes but
20:26it's not anywhere
20:27near the corner.
20:28It's not high.
20:30It's a perfect height
20:30for the goalkeeper.
20:32That should be saved.
20:33End of story.
20:34The game should still
20:35be 2-0.
20:37And as I mentioned
20:37there was a few
20:39nervous moments
20:40at the weekend
20:40against Kilmarnock
20:41as well where
20:42it just felt like
20:43Jordan Smith
20:44after all the good work
20:45he did last season
20:46where he came into
20:47the team
20:47his first game
20:48was certainly not
20:50full of composure
20:52and confidence
20:52but he built into
20:53the season.
20:56Last game here
20:58against Kilmarnock
20:58there were just
20:59signs of that
21:00nervousness creeping
21:00back into his
21:01performance.
21:02And it started again
21:03here tonight.
21:04The offside that we
21:05saw where he's
21:06coming in and he's
21:07not and he's
21:07backing off and he
21:08actually should have
21:09come to get the
21:09ball.
21:10Even though it was
21:11offside it still
21:12plants that seed of
21:13doubt.
21:14And then that
21:14there.
21:14Well this is a
21:20test of
21:21Hib's resolve
21:23and that doesn't
21:24help either.
21:25It does not.
21:27And every little
21:29thing like that
21:29also aids
21:31Partizan's cause.
21:32They will
21:32take a great deal
21:34from that
21:35goalkeeping error
21:36and try and put
21:38more pressure
21:39on Hib's
21:39back line.
21:40David Gray
21:47was stressing
21:49that the tie
21:50is far from
21:50over.
21:53And he got
21:53that bang on.
22:01The cadder
22:02missed from
22:03early on.
22:05Comes back
22:06and
22:06looks all the
22:09more glaring
22:09now.
22:11Anyway
22:12plenty of
22:12time for
22:12Hibs who
22:13are still
22:13in the lead
22:14of course
22:14in the
22:15tie.
22:17It's
22:17disappointing
22:18as much
22:20as David
22:22Gray will be
22:22furious inside
22:23there still
22:24needs to be
22:25an element
22:26of calm
22:26and just
22:29relaxing.
22:31Hibs are
22:31still firmly
22:32in control
22:32of the
22:32tie.
22:34Hibs are
22:35the only
22:35side that
22:35can beat
22:36themselves
22:37here.
22:37you can
22:39see with a
22:39mistake as
22:40well.
22:41Partizan will
22:41knock the
22:42ball but
22:42yes but
22:43if Hibs are
22:44at it
22:44they shouldn't
22:46be getting
22:46broken down
22:47by Partizan.
22:48Didn't
22:48happen last
22:49week and I
22:49don't envisage it
22:50being able to
22:51happen this
22:51week if
22:52Hibs are at
22:52there's a
22:57visitors with
22:57their tails
22:58up and
22:59not going to
23:00take any
23:00encouragement
23:01to shoot from
23:02distance now
23:03thankfully
23:03that one
23:05from
23:06Grzic was
23:08well off
23:08target
23:09he'll just
23:12need to
23:13compose
23:14himself.
23:14A few
23:35murmurings
23:36around
23:36Easter Road
23:37as Jordan
23:37Smith gives
23:38the ball
23:38straight back
23:39to Partizan
23:39but nicked
23:41as Mulligan
23:43tries to
23:43marauded
23:44forward but
23:44he has
23:46his pocket
23:46pinched as
23:47well.
23:55Campbell
23:55being
23:55penalised
23:56there.
24:00I'm not
24:00sure he
24:01needed to
24:01lunge in
24:02there.
24:04Recognise
24:04that Kieran
24:05Bowie is
24:05going to
24:05pressure the
24:06goalkeeper
24:07I think he
24:09could have
24:09reacted a
24:10little bit
24:10quicker and
24:10got right
24:11up on
24:11top of
24:12Roganovic.
24:13that would
24:17have meant
24:17that he
24:17didn't need
24:18to lunge
24:19in there
24:19but certainly
24:19again
24:20Hibs just
24:20need to
24:21calm
24:21themselves
24:21down.
24:22can't
24:30until Bowie
24:31Molligan made
24:33the run
24:33off him
24:34should have
24:34been able
24:35to pick
24:35him out
24:36and Bowie
24:37was caught
24:38who's going
24:41to be
24:42booked for
24:42that.
24:44It's
24:44pretty much
24:45the follow
24:45through
24:45because he
24:45took the
24:47ball fairly
24:47cleanly
24:48initially
24:48caught by
24:51the
24:51stud of
24:53the
24:53midfielder
24:54latterly.
24:56Certainly
24:56in the first
24:57unit I've got
24:57a lot of
24:58sympathy for
24:59Gresic here
25:00but
25:00I think
25:04Hibs are
25:05very very
25:05fortunate
25:06there.
25:11Inadvertently
25:12catches
25:12Kieran Bowie
25:14with no
25:14force.
25:15He's actually
25:15trying to get
25:15his leg out
25:16the way I
25:17think.
25:18By doing
25:18that
25:19he's actually
25:20caught Kieran
25:21Bowie
25:21no force
25:22thankfully
25:23he's not
25:23hurt.
25:25I think
25:25they're
25:26fortunate
25:26there.
25:30Midway

25:31first half

25:35Leading
25:36in the
25:37tie by
25:372-1.
25:38Opportunity
25:39here to
25:39level things
25:42up this
25:42evening.
25:43Restore
25:43that two
25:43goal

25:55direct it
25:56back across

26:34in
26:34Chivic
26:36slipped there
26:51by
26:51Kostic
26:51but retains possession
26:54break down of communication
27:06there with Vrganovic going long
27:10Ibs fans felt Campbell was taken out
27:20the earth balls going long
27:22and Vrganovic comes out to clear
27:40there's Horak clipping it for Boyle
27:54at least that was the intention
27:55Simic steps in
27:58and then Milic
28:00Jimmy Graz a big miss as well
28:06I've got to say he's settled in very quickly
28:08at Easter Road
28:10intelligent footballer
28:14I mean you're just
28:16lacking a bit of possession
28:18he's somebody that is always looking for the ball
28:20great touch
28:24take it in tight areas
28:25and just another player that helps to
28:27alleviate a little bit of pressure
28:29there's Vrganovic looking to apply a bit of pressure
28:31a looping cross
28:33it's got way too much on it
28:34disappointing for the visitors
28:36from a promising position
28:38unfortunately for Ibernian
28:43Jamie McGrath
28:44only fit enough to take his place in the stand
28:47a couple of rows
28:48below us
28:49having already
28:52played an important role
28:54with the opening goal out in
28:55Denmark against Michelin
28:58Switzerland
28:58showing just how key he could be
29:03to a successful Hibs season
29:05hope to have him back before long
29:09hope to have him back for the playoff round
29:11Boyle brilliant control
29:16pass for Bowie now
29:18can he slip in
29:19Campbell
29:20he's
29:21taking it on himself
29:22and it's no real test for
29:25Milosevic
29:26I think he should
29:28it's a great first touch here
29:29if he can just slip that
29:31exactly when he's shooting
29:32slide it between those two defenders
29:34it's into
29:35Josh Campbell's path
29:36and perhaps if it's weighted well
29:39the midfielder is able to step onto that
29:41and hit it first time
29:42and hit it first time
30:1212.30 was offside there
30:14and almost stopped playing
30:16the assistance
30:16flag has stayed down
30:19and for a split second there
30:23it looks as if the Hibs defence
30:24were just about to stop playing
30:25and
30:26giving a cardinal sin
30:28Max Waters has got another one
30:38this time from the penalty spot
30:39against Rapid
30:40at Tanadise
30:42it's going to United 2
30:43Rapid 0
30:45and 4-2 now to
30:47the Tanadise side
30:48on aggregate
30:49as a half time
30:52approaches
30:53there
30:53glorious
30:56absolutely glorious
30:58and what a turnaround
30:59in a short space of time
31:00because
31:01saw the two games
31:02against
31:03Muna Strassen
31:05and
31:05it felt like there was a lot of work
31:07needed to be done
31:08in terms of just
31:08what the side was expected
31:11of them
31:11the system
31:12and everything like that
31:12and with all the injuries
31:14they've still been able to
31:15improve so dramatically
31:16it's Poole from Obita
31:20after a terrific play
31:21again from Bowie
31:22Obita's got it back to Leavitt
31:25he's been forced back to Leavitt
31:39he's been forced back to Leavitt
31:39brings Bowie
31:41and Ayerdale out to Obita
31:44Hibbs looking to stretch
31:50Partizan here
31:51as Mulligan
31:52retains possession
31:54really good play from Hibbs so far
32:00if they can get an end product
32:03on this then
32:04it'll be a fair move
32:07Obita
32:09just couldn't get around his man there
32:11he doesn't look to latch on to the 1-2
32:13I don't think he wanted that one
32:30John Smith's got it
32:32he can see the game there
32:34Warren O'Hara
32:36is facing his own goal
32:38these body positions
32:39all wrong to be receiving that ball
32:41when there's a guy
32:42just about to go and close him down
32:43it's a good challenge for Mulligan
32:49to dispossess
32:51Milosevic who's
32:52looking like he might
32:53pose a threat
32:55he's got to hit Martin Boyle earlier
32:57Caden's done well though
33:00to win that back
33:01now he finds Boyle
33:02it's a dangerous ball
33:05Milosevic just got a fingertip to it
33:08Caden again involved
33:10as he gets it back to Levitt
33:12and now Mulligan
33:13out it comes to Boyle once more
33:16big chance here potentially
33:18and over the top
33:19it goes from Simic
33:21good play from Hibbs
33:24aggressive
33:25Martin Boyle's been dangerous
33:29in this right hand side
33:30if you just watch Kieran Bowie
33:31on the edge of the box here
33:32you watch him with
33:33Rogojevic
33:35that is really good
33:36striker play
33:37just physical
33:38gives him a nudge
33:40creates three or four yards
33:41of space for himself
33:42short corner
33:43taken to Levitt
33:44a beat up
33:45Levitt eventually
33:49sends it
33:50Bashiri
33:50just wide
33:53Campbell again
33:54claiming he was being pulled
33:55referee having none of it
33:57Bashiri sends it
33:58fractionally wide
33:59well that's another opportunity
34:04you're saying to yourself
34:04he's got to hit the target
34:07a little bit of a mix up here
34:09wasn't he sure
34:09where we're wanting to go
34:11with each other
34:11that is a huge opportunity
34:14for Bashiri
34:15round the back
34:16he's got to hit the target
34:18a couple of goals already
34:22this season
34:23should really have added
34:27to that
34:27tally
34:28look like he had
34:42forced penalties
34:43here against Michellan
34:45with the
34:46extra time equaliser
34:48on aggregate
34:50only for
34:51the late
34:54late heroics
34:55that took Michellan
34:57through
34:57that's careless
35:21Levitt
35:22we couldn't find
35:23either Boyle or Bowie
35:25the hopes of
35:34had their chances
35:35and the hopes of it
35:50out wide
35:50throws it back
35:51another shooting opportunity
35:54dragged well wide
35:55by goal scorer
35:57Vukatic
35:58but
35:59he'll certainly
36:01fancy his chances
36:02again from distance
36:03yeah well Vukatic
36:07was the one last week
36:08that looked like
36:10he was capable
36:10of doing something
36:11he ended up going
36:15and playing in a wider
36:16area
36:16which
36:17Partizan were down
36:18to ten men
36:19and he was still
36:20very very dangerous
36:21and obviously
36:26he's got the goal here
36:28good strike
36:30as we've mentioned before
36:31it shouldn't be ending up
36:34in the back of the net
36:34Champions League
36:49highlights
36:49next Wednesday
36:51from 10.40
36:52on BBC One
36:53both Rangers and Celtic
36:58in Champions League
36:59playoff action
37:01just over 10 to the break
37:13just over 10 to the break
37:13no Hibs would love
37:15an equaliser
37:17on the night
37:17just to give them that
37:18cushion once more
37:20otherwise you can imagine
37:24this getting
37:25very nervy
37:26as the free kick
37:28goes Partizan's way
37:29probably
37:30judged to
37:32pull back
37:34Dragojevic
37:35looking Partizan
38:00conjure here
38:00Vuketic
38:09commanding
38:11from Vashiri
38:12Vukanovic
38:15makes it back out
38:16too
38:16Kostic
38:17just given a wee by
38:29Boyle
38:29Dragojevic
38:38and get it
38:48with Vukanovic
38:49power clear by
39:04Ayrdale
39:05it's moments like that
39:06where I was just
39:07talking previously
39:08where Hibs have
39:09actually been pretty
39:10good over the two
39:11legs off
39:11not just doing that
39:13and I get on
39:14occasions you do
39:15need to clear your
39:15lines but
39:16more often than not
39:18they've shown good
39:19composure to just
39:20find that first pass
39:21and be able to
39:22build an attack
39:23from deep positions
39:25when they've been
39:26able to win
39:26and get turnovers
39:27here's a recent record
39:51that Easter Road is
39:52mightily impressive
39:54haven't been beaten
39:55here inside 90
39:57minutes certainly
39:58in the last 15
39:59going back to last
40:00season since a
40:012-1 St Mirren
40:03victory here
40:04in November
40:05that does I know
40:20got a good control
40:21of this particular
40:23game at the moment
40:24look at the more
40:26threatening side
40:27Millets
40:35it's a clever
40:38flick
40:39Hibs fan shoot
40:42for a handball
40:42nothing given as
40:43Kolosevic wins
40:45inside the corner
40:46certainly from up
40:48here it looked as
40:49if it could have
40:50been controlled
40:51with the arm
40:52it's back for a full
41:13back to meet on the
41:14volley
41:14I'm not sure that's
41:16come off a couple
41:17of times in training
41:18for Roganovic but
41:19certainly not tonight
41:20at Easter Road
41:21I'm not sure that
41:26comes off in training
41:27either
41:27I think you're
41:28underestimating how
41:32difficult that actually
41:33is
41:34that technique
41:35in training or not
41:38very very difficult
41:39very very difficult
41:39very very difficult
41:43Leavitt
41:48towards the stretch
42:02Obita
42:13spies there on a Campbell
42:15Bowie wants it
42:19they go back out to Obita
42:32here's again Jordan Obita with a crossing opportunity
42:41hasn't quite come to boil
42:44you'll remember that the winners of this one
42:55play the losers of the Europa League qualifier
42:58between Legia and Larnaca
43:01and although Larnaca and Cyprus were leading 4-1
43:06from the first leg
43:08they're 2-0 down on the night
43:10so they too have only got a one goal advantage
43:12going in towards half time
43:14Leavitt can't find a team mate
43:27that is absolutely brilliant from Kieran Bowie
43:33honestly the guy's the centre forward and he's bursting in the gut there
43:37won the ball back and his team are now on the attack
43:40Campbell couldn't find him again
43:43but the work ethic from Kieran Bowie
43:46was terrific but here come Partizan
43:50getting bodies forward
43:52what Hev certainly won't avoid is
43:56the concession of another goal before half time
43:59Trifunovic switched rings
44:12steps away from Kieran
44:15but good recovery from the wing back
44:17just a little bit too passive from Hibs there
44:23when the ball got slipped into
44:27Jurcevic
44:29allowed him to turn and slip in the wide man
44:34chaotic again
44:39so just a little bit of a ball
44:42we have to have to
44:45yeah
44:48please
44:49now
44:50let's go
44:54keep
44:55close
44:57out
45:01Partizan come again but too much on that from Józevich.
45:31I'm not sure that was his best option, Mikey.
45:51Well I just think when he's stepping in there on his right, if you just watch this run from Bowie coming into your picture there, just a wee slide drill pass perhaps in for the striker.
46:01I don't think I've pulled one back actually out in Warsaw, so 2-1 the trail on the night but lead 5-3 on aggregate.
46:26Hibs, if they advance, will play the losers of that one.
46:29There's absolutely no guarantees that Hibs despite their two goal advantage they came into this game with, they're going to go through.
46:39Oh my goodness!
46:53It's an absolute howler from Jordan Smith and incredibly, Jovan Milošević has drawn Partizan level.
47:06You just cannot allow for two goalkeeping errors of that nature and Partizan are levelling the tide.
47:20That's just, you cannot legislate for that.
47:24I mean I don't understand what Rocky Bashiri is doing as well, he's caught flat footed here, go and stop it!
47:30I mean look, that's just, it's unacceptable at this level to have two goals going in at the back of the net like that.
47:42But the build up to that is another one of those moments that I was just talking about where there's so many bodies in the way but they're just too passive Hibs.
47:51Strikes right at the goalkeeper.
48:02David Gray must be absolutely furious inside.
48:12Right before half-time.
48:26There's a VAR check, every goal is checked of course, I'm entirely sure about this one.
48:33Yeah, the goal is given, it was a quick off-side check but, well, what a first half it's been for Jordan Smith.
48:46I have to wonder Mikey, is there a chance that he could be replaced at half-time because it's not looking good for him out there.
48:52No it's not.
48:54Partizan, he scored from two opportunities and he might get a third tier.
49:10There's some claims for handball in there.
49:13That will be checked as well.
49:15Even if it has touched his arm, it's his arm that's going to be obviously on the ground as he's sliding in.
49:21As he's balancing, it wouldn't be given.
49:30But I mean, it's just truly incredible who Hibs have just given.
49:35It's not a handball.
49:37The law, his arm is balancing on the ground.
49:41You do not get a penalty kick for that.
49:44Plain and simple.
49:45Yes, it has hit his arm, but that's not a penalty kick.
49:50But it's just incredible, Hibs have gifted.
49:53Tartisan, Belgrade, two goals here.
50:05Really not sure why it's taking VAR so long.
50:07Michael is supported by the VAR and that's exactly what the referee is explaining.
50:24To the Partizan captain, Vanya Dragojevic.
50:29He will have a corner.
50:33Spukatic into the area.
50:43Boyle will try and counter here now for Hibs.
50:48And he's in the first half on a bright note.
50:52Play allowed to continue as Boyle ultimately fouled his man, but Partizan continue in possession.
51:02With Ganovich into the area.
51:05Vukatic can't keep it in.
51:09Hibs just need to get at half time and recoup.
51:13They've been shaken by the mistakes.
51:19They need to make sure they don't fall any further behind.
51:24I mean, they have given the initiative to the wayside here.
51:30They've obviously got their tails up as well.
51:32As if they didn't think one was good enough to be gifted two is quite incredible.
51:37Well, half time and that man, Jordan Smith, will be absolutely disconsolate, you'd imagine, in the dressing room at half time.
51:47After two errors allowed Vukatic's early long distance strike to evade him as it found its way into the back of the net.
51:58And even worse, on half time, the effort that slipped beneath his body.
52:07And you have to wonder, will he re-emerge for the second half?
52:12He's consoled there as he makes his way off the field.
52:18But the score line is not a good one as far as Hibs are concerned.
52:23At half time, it's Hibernian 0, Partizan 2, 2-2 in aggregate.
52:27Here is .
