00:00Thanks again Jonathan, a couple of changes at the start of extra time, but somewhat surprisingly
00:08Ian Bowie is not one of the players being replaced, instead it's Obita and Boyle who make way for
00:17Johan and Hoylet, and that man is going to be asked to go to the well once more.
00:22I understand what you're saying Al, but he's such an important figure, yes he looked absolutely
00:32finished, but he's too big a player, and hopefully he's got a wee bit left in reserve.
00:44We've put Johan on who's obviously got a bit of pace, Hoylet up there as well, quality
00:50and Guile, and Nicky Cadden just dropping back into that wing back position that he made
00:55his own last season, hopefully, hopefully it can be enough for Hibs, it's been an absolutely
01:04outstanding game, it's got to be said, but unfortunately for Hibs, mistakes have been what's cost them.
01:12I just feel in this system at the moment, Hibs are lacking slightly in the middle of the
01:23park, there's a lot of work that needs to be done from whoever's in there, Mulligan and
01:29Levitt, obviously Mane's in there at the moment, they've got a lot of space to cover, and even
01:35though they're playing against 10 men, it still feels like they've got too much space they're
01:40having to try and shut down and close.
01:47Oh, for Triantis to make his way back to Easter Road, I think he would be such a bonus for David
01:57Gray in his side if he was able to get him back into a Hibs jersey.
02:14And Partizan will be buoyed once more by that incredibly equalising goal to put them 3-1 up on the night.
02:24The 10 men will be re-energised, although, as you're pointing out, for the last 5 or 10 minutes
02:39of the 95 minutes we've played, it was easy to forget they were down to 10, as they searched
02:48for that goal they required, and with pretty much the last kick of the ball they got it.
02:54Here comes Smith and takes charge.
03:04Sounds like they're heading for penalties at Tanadice, unless there's a late goal there.
03:18Still 2-2 on the night, 4-inch on aggregate, and as Jonathan said, it will be Legia Warsaw
03:24awaiting the winners of this one in the play-off round of the Conference League.
03:30after they lost to Larnaca, who themselves had a man sent off.
03:38It saw it out.
03:40Nacho, who at 37 years of age, is still in quality in the middle of the park with the armband now.
04:03He's sick.
04:07He's trying to get away from Nicky Cairn, who just about did enough to put him off.
04:15Nacho again clips that one through for the goalscorer, Andy Kostic.
04:27Nacho again clips that one through for the goalscorer, Andy Kostic.
04:39Andy Kostic.
05:01Here's Yuan.
05:03Try to squeeze that into Mulligan, breaks kindly for Hibbs, that one didn't, and now Kostic will bring second to play.
05:17Pundling his way through a couple of challenges, not past O'Hara, and in fact penalised for that challenge.
05:29There was a lot of tired bodies out there, but at the same time, they need to take real care with their play, Hibbs.
05:38A couple of loose passes in the middle of the park, and again, like I was saying before, I just feel it's a little bit too stretched in the middle there.
05:46Hibbs don't have any real control through the middle.
05:52Nacho's come on to the park, and he's got plenty of space to just get on the ball and start to try and control and dictate the pace here.
06:00Even though they're down to 10 men, see the space that he's been afforded.
06:03Played every single game for Israel against Scotland between 2018 and 2021.
06:11How many games was that, Michael? Do you remember?
06:13Six.
06:14Seven.
06:15I think.
06:16Hope you were guessing there. I'm pretty sure it was seven. He played in every single one.
06:22One.
06:23One.
06:28Here's you, Han. For a cat in.
06:29One.
06:40One.
06:41One.
06:42One.
06:43One.
06:44One.

06:48One.
06:49One.
06:50One.
06:51One.
06:52Is Nice.
06:53What a time this would be for a...
06:58great delivery from Nicky Cadden,
06:59on point.
07:00One of those big defenders to get their head on it.
07:04What a time this would be for a great delivery from Nicky Cadden.
07:06Bakshiri
07:08is close to it
07:10free kick has gone
07:13partisan's way
07:14need to see a replay to determine
07:19what the free kick's given for
07:30I mean
07:30what's the referee seeing there
07:32perhaps he's just looking at it from that angle
07:40you can see
07:41Airedale needlessly got a
07:44fistful of
07:45the defender's jersey there
08:02you can see
08:14Kieran Bowie there
08:15having words with
08:16Eliyuan
08:16no wonder
08:18he's run himself into the ground
08:21and just looking for a bit of
08:23alertness from the
08:24the attacker
08:27to go and pressurise the
08:29partisan defence
08:30O'err
08:33is
08:35the
08:36are
08:37the
08:37who
08:38are
08:38to
08:39to
08:39the
08:40Moilett's done well to get it back, Mulligan's done well to keep it, Moilett again, for
09:08Johan, now Caden, into Bowie, slides it back to Mane, he was just too slow in possession
09:20there, good build up play from Hibs, getting that ball into Kieran Bowie's feet inside the
09:28box, always dangerous, that's better, Mulligan now, Josh Mulligan deflected, save, Chris
09:34Cannon, shoot lay, there it is, Chris Cannon, incredible scenes inside Easter Road, as Hibs
09:48Bellion hit the front once more in the tie, and it's Chris Cannon, who missed a massive
09:56chance inside three minutes, but now he's on the score sheet.
10:03I had plenty of time to think about it as it was on a plate for him to step up, he makes
10:15no mistake that time, this is great play from Hoylet and Mulligan, it really is, I think
10:21that deflection is just what kills Milosevic in gold for Partizan, Mulligan trying to find
10:27the far corner and it just takes that deflection and it catches Milosevic out a little bit, lays
10:36it on a plate for Chris Cannon, who's in a great position to step in, slam it into the
10:41back of the net, but just think the energy that is being exerted from this Hibs side, Mulligan
10:48Mulligan in particular, I'm talking about the middle of the park and how exposed and
10:53how much space they've got to cover, he never lets up, there he is playing that one-two and
11:00driving it into the box, brilliant awareness from Hoylet, but also technically very, very
11:08good just to lay it into Mulligan's path.
11:10Hopefully, hopefully, that can be enough for Hibs.
11:19Well I think you saw from David Gray's demeanour there a moment ago, he knows it's too early
11:24to celebrate, but the rest of Easton Road were certainly in celebratory mood as Karen rifled
11:31that into the back of the net, there he is again, he's been outstanding, again in a Hibs
11:42jersey, Josh Mulligan, he really has, I know I was saying that perhaps dropped his runner
11:51but, he's still learning that position, and he's doing brilliantly for Hibs on the whole.
11:59Hoylet, just pulling his man back there.
12:02Hoylet, I don't think I'm alone inside Easton Road and hoping that Hibs can get another one
12:16because I still don't feel altogether secure with a one-goal advantage.
12:24There's another example of just how open it is in the middle of the park in particular.
12:40What do you do then to get that extra man, do you sacrifice, I mean obviously Hoylet and
12:46you and I have just come on, so do you maybe sacrifice Bowie and pull another central midfielder
12:50in there.
12:51The problem is they've not really got too many options at the moment, just look at the
12:56squad as a whole.
12:57Here's Caden.
13:00Molligan again, Bowie, Bowie, oh it's so close.
13:12Well he's already scored, what an absolute worldie tonight.
13:22That was almost another fabulous strike.
13:24That's just the perfect area for him, on that inside right channel, back to goal, ball on
13:32his feet, two great touches to set himself and you know exactly where he's trying to go.
13:38Far corner but just tiredness.
13:43If that's in the first half I don't think he makes any mistake with it, I think he finds
13:47that corner.
13:48Nacho, he's picked out the run here and there's an opportunity and Jordan Smith comes up with
13:58another big moment in the Hibs goal.
14:01Jurcevic coming to the assistant was onside and it looked like he was on target from the
14:11full back.
14:12Well you've got to say that with no pressure on the ball, they have to start dropping as
14:29a defence.
14:30Nacho's on the ball, nobody's tight enough.
14:33Chris Carden's watching the run, he's got to go with them, the rest of the defence have
14:38got to drop slightly as well.
14:40It would have been very very tight if it had gone in the back of the net but it did look
14:43as if he was just onside.
14:46It's set back to Nacho, it's blocked by one of his own players now on the counter.
14:53Can Hibs finish it?
14:55Johan for Hoylet.
14:58That didn't look too far away either from Hoylet.
15:04Well it was good play from Elie Johan as well.
15:09He weights this perfectly, in for Hoylet.
15:14The quality, good run as well, just to drag the defender away and open up that space for
15:19Junior Hoylet.
15:21A minute added on at the end of this, first period of extra time.
15:41Partizan still in this.
15:47Just physically and mentally shattered.
15:50As that ball is getting slipped into the front man.
15:53Warren O'Hora is just slightly too far off it and then he's late to go and pressurise
15:59and then he leaves a gate and hole for them to go and exploit.
16:02And it comes again, Bashiri.
16:16Doesn't deal with it, just kind of know.
16:19We'll just hammer it clear and hope for the half time whistle and extra time.
16:24Which arrives and Hibs back in front thanks to that man Chris Carrad.
16:36His first goal in two seasons.
16:38How precious could that end up being?
16:41As you say Michael, it owed so much to the running attempted finish from Mulligan.
16:48And Canning gets his reward for following in.
16:52Yeah, you've got to give them huge credit because, you know, we've grown about it enough,
16:57but I think everybody recognises the energy that has been exerted from the whole side.
17:05Yes, they're playing against ten men, but the emotional rollercoaster that the players have been on as well here.
17:11Thinking that they've won the game.
17:13Losing that goal with the last kick of the ball.
17:17It takes everything out of you.
17:19That's the right wing back that's up in the middle of the goals.
17:22Getting on that loose fumble from Milosevic to slam into the back of the net.
17:26It's Mulligan that's making the burst and run from the middle of the park to drive into the box
17:31and have the strike in the first place.
17:33These guys have put everything into this game.
17:37Whatever David Gray or maybe Craig Samson said to Jordan Smith at half-time in normal time,
17:47certainly works.
17:49He's picked up some amazing saves since then into penalties at Tanadice.
17:574-4 it's finished on aggregate between Dundee United and Rapid Vienna and so that one will be decided on penalties.
18:11Hebs are void in that scenario here and ensure the victory inside extra time.
18:18Just about everyone staying to the very end to see this one through.
18:27Hopefully they can see this one through.
18:32Look forward to the playoff game.
18:34It would be really really interesting to see this Hibs side get to the group stages.
18:41There's a lot to like about them.
18:44I think they've got really good balance.
18:47They just need a couple of additions I think.
18:49Yeah.
18:50Balls to the squad but also just a little bit extra quality in some key areas.
18:54And I think Hibs could do very well if they were able to progress into that group.
19:01First of all, let's try and make sure that they can see through tonight and look towards Legia.
19:07Indeed.
19:08Indeed.
19:09Certainly if they were going to be playing mid-week, weekend for the early part of the season you would definitely feel they would need reinforcements.
19:17That man has certainly had a long way to redeeming himself.
19:25And you've got to say the crowd have played a huge part as well because the emotional rollercoaster that they've been on as well with.
19:37The two goals that were conceded in that first half, they've played their part.
19:41Brilliant again from Bowie.
19:43Here's Yuan.
19:44A little step over.
19:46Goes for a goal.
19:48And it's fended off at the near post by Milosevic but Hibs will try once more.
19:53What is another chance?
19:54Cannon!
19:55Oh!
19:56Nicky Cannon!
19:57Could not emulate his twin brother Chris.
20:03Well we were saying early on in the game that Chris should have scored and Nicky should be scoring here.
20:08The first one in particular.
20:10The second one, maybe he just bounces up a little bit too high.
20:13I think it comes off his knee in the end.
20:15Just trying to direct it towards goal.
20:17But that first one, he makes a great run in behind.
20:20Sec.
20:21He just has got to get the header past that goalkeeper.
20:25Instead it goes right at him.
20:27The second one when it rebounds to him I think is difficult.
20:30It's quick.
20:31It's in an awkward position.
20:33Around the bit he's knee.
20:35But certainly that, that should have been the tie right there Al.
20:38Nacho flips it out to this near side.
20:53Roganovic now back to Nacho, such a clever player.
20:57Last goalwards.
20:58But over the top from Jovo Milosevic.
21:00Again just feels that there's a little bit too much space in that central area.
21:14If they just had a greater control of the game, they wouldn't be having to exert nearly as much energy, Hibbs.
21:29Bashiri in a boot race here.
21:41As well.
21:42Just when it looked like Costas was about to get the better of him.
21:46Recovers really well.
21:48Now he's found a second wind out there.
22:05Here they come again.
22:06Once more.
22:07There's the opportunity.
22:09The flag goes up to save Hibbs again.
22:12And hopefully VTR will verify that.
22:15Once again it was Jovovic who was denied in the first half of extra time in a similar position.
22:23But see Al for me, that is such, I mean he is offside and they're going to get away with it.
22:28But that's an incredibly high line for them to be holding when there's no pressure on the ball there.
22:33Jovovic is making that run from the left hand side across the defence.
22:38The defence.
22:39And on the first half of extra time, they got through.
22:48And fortunately nothing came from it.
22:51That time he's through.
22:52They've scored the goal.
22:53He is offside though, but they've just got to deepen.
22:56They can't hold a high line like that when there is no pressure on that ball.
23:00There's too much space for them to go running in behind.
23:07No goal is the correct decision.
23:10That's just too much space.
23:11Let's do this.
23:12Yeah.
23:13I've got to be right back right now.
23:15I'm going to put down.
23:16Just leave a tree.
23:17Go the way.
23:18You just got to go.
23:19Let's go.
23:20I'm finished.
23:21My feet.
23:22You have to be right.
23:23You have to move the left side.
23:24I'm finished.
23:25I'm going to go.
23:26Question.
23:27You have to move on.
23:28I'm going to go.
23:29You are a winner.
23:30I'm going to do that.
23:31I'm going to go.
23:33Step up.
23:34Tip it.
23:35You have to move on.
23:36You have to be ready.
23:37I'm going to go.
23:38I'm sorry, Ardeal, too much on it though.
23:53They've got their noses in front against Hibs, but they don't want it, just allow that
24:10nervousness to creep back into the game like it did the last five minutes.
24:14Yeah, he's sick.
24:16Sniff goes down at his near post after Karn had made a slight block.
24:23Just manage the game, keep possession, don't give away cheap ball, that's not the worst
24:39ball actually, even though it has given the possession away, they need to get themselves
24:44up the park, play it into that corner area, if you're going to give the ball away, territorially,
24:50try and find the corner.
24:52There's Mane, can't get it beyond Roganovic.
24:54There's Mane, can't get it beyond Roganovic.
25:12Yosek, who's looked pretty lively since he's come on, Losevic outside of him, looks like
25:27he's tiring.
25:34Myredale, again Bowie will give chase, second guess the goalkeeper.
25:43Carden looks back as if he was going to play it to Smith and the route was gone.
25:45Carden looks back as if he was going to play it to Smith and the route was gone.
25:46going to be cut off, I think.
25:47Thank you very much.
25:48Carden looks back as if he was going to play it to Smith and the route was going to be cut
25:49off, I think.
25:51Thankfully he thought better of it as Hoylet comes forward for Obernian.
25:58That was a good experience there, you can see just trying to take out the game, keep the
26:23there you see just trying to take this thing out the game keep the possession
26:27move it side to side there's no need to try and force the game at this point
26:53there's money
27:20Caden calling for it and gets it
27:25and just couldn't get it round the corner
27:39Partizan coaches are calling for calm even though time is running out for them
27:44well Kieran Bowie at last is going to be given a rest as he's replaced by Thibaut Courigie
27:54what an evening he has had just adding further to a burgeoning reputation
28:03not least with one of the most fabulous goals you'll see this or any other season
28:10he looks fit as a fiddle at the moment as well you've got to see it
28:18you were mentioning how he'd left nothing out in the park
28:21physically causing all sorts of problems to the Partizan Belgrade defence
28:29powerful strong athletic
28:33and what a goal to go with it
28:36a few short weeks away Scotland will be playing in Copenhagen and hopefully he's got a number nine jersey on his back
28:46you're a fully paid up member of the Kieran Bowie fan club aren't you
28:50maybe even the founding member
28:52because I remember you were talking about him a lot towards the end of last season
28:56as well and he's certainly justifying that
29:00this Partizan about to make a late change of their own
29:10still just the one goal in it
29:20as the tireless mulligan first forward
29:24his energy levels just are incredible
29:29Josh Mulligan
29:31barely looks like he's
29:33tired
29:35115 minutes
29:37he's still making driving runs from the middle of the park
29:41Milosevic
29:44will be replaced by Dusan
29:47Jovanovic for the final five minutes
29:54Dundee United
30:21I'm afraid to say
30:23have lost on penalties
30:24against Rapid Vienna
30:27despite having led
30:292-0 on the night
30:31and 4-2
30:31the tie
30:32the Austrians have come back
30:35forced extra time on penalties
30:37and ultimately won the shootout
30:39so the first Scottish side falls by the wayside in Europe this season
30:48after a violent attempt
30:51but it sounds like
30:53United have
30:56just
30:57thrown that away slightly
31:00and have been in such a great position
31:02surely Hibbs are not going to do that now
31:05Nacho for
31:16Kostic
31:17Kostic
31:18oh it's just touched on to the post
31:20and into the side
31:21and hitting second time around
31:23Jordan Smith doing just enough
31:26to deny
31:28Andre Kostic
31:29the second goal of the night
31:30well there's just too much space in the middle of the park
31:34again
31:36I tell you
31:38I think it takes a nick off of Rocky Bashiri
31:41right in front of the goalkeeper
31:43there's a fingertip save
31:46to put it onto the post there from Jordan Smith
31:48but
31:49for all the great work that
31:51Josh Mulligan and
31:54Manny are doing in the middle of the park there
31:56there's just occasions where they're emptying the space
31:58they're chasing the ball around
32:00and at the moment
32:01they just need to hold their position
32:02they go chasing
32:05just opens up a little pocket of space
32:07and
32:07there was two or three players there for Partizan
32:10and all of a sudden they're able to get
32:13quick ball
32:14one touch passing
32:16and then there's a
32:17a sight on goal
32:18you
32:35and
32:36for Hoylet
32:37can get it back to him
32:39couple of minutes plus stop is time
32:42for hips to navigate
32:44you on
33:10football again
33:11good from hips again
33:17good link up
33:18Manny
33:20for Hoylet
33:21shuffles it out to
33:24Nicky Cadden
33:25swept away from the danger area
33:29research fans
33:38thought they were over the line
33:40at the end of the 90 plus minutes
33:43only to
33:44be hit with a hammer blow
33:46so they won't be counting their chickens just yet
33:53but they are all so close
33:54to the aggregate victory
33:58they so desire
34:00Manny has been
34:06neat and tidy
34:07that wasn't neat and tidy
34:08but it was
34:09retrieved by
34:10Yuan
34:11Manny does well
34:18that's
34:20that's
34:20Pige
34:20out to Chris Cannon
34:22wonder should he just head for the corner flag
34:24no thought of it from Chris Cannon
34:26tries to play in Mulligan instead
34:28and
34:29gives
34:30the ball back to Partizan
34:33who a one minute of stop is tight
34:35to retrieve the situation once more
34:38before it goes
34:48and out comes Jordan Smith
34:51what a night it has been
34:58at Easter Road
35:00Mibs can almost
35:04touch
35:05the victory now
35:09as Yuan
