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.

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.

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.

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.

The second half is up and running at Easter Road.

Hearts fans will be keeping an eye on the Benfica - St Gallen game in Lisbon since they play the winners in Europa League qualifying.

The Portuguese side are 1-0 up at home, making it 2-2 on aggregate.

We can see the Hibs subs warming up on our TV feed, but I don't think David Gray will be planning on changes any time soon after such a good first half.

Fatigue might be an issue later on since the pace has been ferocious at this very early stage of the season.

I don't expect to see anything different in the second half.

Still 45 minutes to go, yes, but I expect Hibs to go one and score another two or three here.

Shkendija will face the winners of this one.

The North Macedonian side grabbed an 88th-minute goal for a 3-1 win at home to Bravo from Ljubljana, making it through 4-3 on aggregate.
