The shape of the match was clear from the split score. KF Malisheva went into the interval 1-0 up and stayed in command long enough to add another 1-0 period after the restart, sealing a clean-sheet victory over Hibernian FC. In knockout football, that is often the ideal pattern - get ahead, settle the tempo and leave the opposition chasing.
The highlights were decisive rather than frantic. Malisheva's first-half lead gave them the platform, and the second-half addition removed any late tension from the result. While the fuller stats are secondary to the outcome here, the basic breakdown tells the story neatly: 1-0 before half-time, 1-0 after it, 2-0 at the finish.
For Hibernian, the contest became an uphill task from the moment they reached the break behind. They never found a way back onto level terms, and the final summary is a difficult away night in the UEFA Conference League against a home side that managed both halves efficiently.
