Hibernian 2-3 Gent result, stats and report

Kevin Nisbet gave Hibernian the lead at Easter Road but Martin Boyle's second-half penalty earned Aberdeen a point, ending a match that both sides will feel they could have won.

Hibernian created the chances but could not take them. Kilmarnock took theirs. That is football, and that is why Hibs lost.

Hibernian had the ball, the chances, and the crowd, but Gent had the goals that mattered. A 90th-minute own goal from Miguel Chaiwa sealed a 3-2 win for the Belgians and ended Hibernian's European night in the worst way possible.

Gent pulled off one of the results of the Belgian Pro League season, beating Club Brugge 2-1 thanks to a late Ibrahima Cissé header that silenced the form book and sent the home crowd into raptures.

Hibernian took all three points at Dens Park on Sunday, winning 2-1 despite a late Joe Westley header giving Dundee brief hope. Martin Boyle and Callum Wright did the damage for the visitors.

Hibernian have lost three Scottish Premiership matches on the bounce and kept zero clean sheets in their last ten. Falkirk arrive battered but dangerous enough to make this deeply uncomfortable for the home side.

Zulte-Waregem have not lost a home match in their last ten Belgian Pro League outings, but Gent arrive on Saturday having won all five of their most recent fixtures. Something has to give.

Dundee United host Hibernian at Tannadice on Saturday with one thing abundantly clear: somebody is conceding goals. The question is how many.
