Vergara with opener & Burgess forces in late leveller before Chaiwa diverts into own net before being sent off
Towering Kerr header levels on night and in tie & Passlack skids in second
Sides drew 0-0 in Belgium last week
Jason Kerr
That one will count!
Jamie McGrath is set up for a shot on the edge of the Gent box and it's blocked.
Hibernian recycle and McGrath lifts the ball from left to the back post for Jason Kerr to throw himself at it and head past goalkeeper Davy Roef.
Kerr certainly wanted that one and it's game on.

We’re really missing Owen Elding. Too often when we have the ball, players are just standing around. He would drag us forward.
Roberto
Hibs need a change in formation. We need more width and pace. Still all to play for.

David Gray is incandescent, hence the yellow card.
The large majority of the 18,977 packed in here are equally furious.
If anything, though, it’s added fuel to Hibs’ fire…
Hibernian 0-1 Gent (agg 0-1)
Hibernian head coach David Gray has been booked for dissent in the wake of that disallowed goal.

It won't count, but it gives you a lift. It's certainly lifted the fans.
Yes, there's disappointment but Hibs have started the second half really well, they're asking questions.
Hibernian 0-1 Gent (agg 0-1)
Quite the start to the second half and so frustrating for Hibernian that they thought they had levelled but are still behind.
The handball seems to have come earlier in the move.
Hibernian 0-1 Gent (agg 0-1)
But wait the goal will not stand. The officials have spotted a handball, seemingly against Martin Boyle and it's still 1-0 to Gent.
Martin Boyle
Hibernian are level and it's their captain Martin Boyle.
Josh Mulligan's shot deflects up kindly for Boyle and he calmly lifts the ball into the net.

FT: Freiburg 4-1 Motherwell (agg 7-2)
Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson: "We compete really, really well for 60 minutes and after that obviously it becomes much more difficult once again and there it's about trying to protect as much as you can.
"Could we have done that a little bit better? Maybe in some decisive actions in our own box but I think the guys they tried everything that they had so, all in all, it was good for 60 minutes and then it was tough.
"Congratulations to Freiburg, they were the better team over the two legs and congratulations to my players because I think they've done really, really well.
"Alex Poulsen's performance is really, really strong and I can point many others. Alex Lowry was really, really strong once again. Joe Hodge, the amount of sprint metres he put in for the team defensively was impressive. Jamie Knight-Lebel has been growing a lot during those two games, both defensively but also on the ball.
"I could mention many others."

Martin Boyle picks up on the left and decides to cut inside and belt a shot at goal.
Goalkeeper Davy Roef blocks and the ball rebounds off a defender for a corner.

It's a fantastic finish from Vergara.
On the swivel, he volleys it into the ground and the skid off the surface is too much for Sallinger.
I go back to the Nathan Lowe chance. When the opportunity presents itself, you've got to make the keeper work. Vergara does that.
Josue Vergara
There's finally a goal in this tie and its for Gent.
Josue Vergara takes down Tiago Araujo's cross and delicately turns and shoots beyond Raphael Sallinger, who got a hand to it.
A very fine bit of skill by Vergara, who had threatened just beforehand.

Josue Vergara gets his head to a floating ball into the Hibernian box and it's a good take from goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger.
Hibernian 0-0 Gent (agg 0-0)
I agree with Scott Allan, we need a goalscorer up front. Suto is probably more of the predator and goalscorer we need tonight.
There’s some talent on the park but there’s probably better on the bench. l hope Suto and Wright get a shout soon.

Nathan Lowe is proving a handful for the Gent defence but he could not keep this effort down.

This tie has been goalless now for more than two hours of football.
Who can find that elusive opening goal?
Hibernian 0-0 Gent (agg 0-0)
Adam Mayor's free-kick into the Gent box has pace and dip but it drifts by everyone and out for a free-kick.
Hibernian 0-0 Gent (agg 0-0)
Gent are seeing a lot of the ball on the right, getting some decent balls into the box.
Hibernian try and counter with Nathan Lowe and he wins a free-kick, which results in a booking for Gent's Christian Burgess.
