Match Report
Hibernian fell to a 3–2 defeat against Gent in their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round clash at Easter Road, with the Belgian side edging a dramatic contest. Josué Vergara's 39th-minute strike gave Gent a slender half-time lead, and Hibernian's hopes of an immediate response were dealt a blow when Martin Boyle's effort was ruled out by VAR for handball just two minutes after the restart.
Jason Kerr levelled for the hosts on 56 minutes to set up a tense finale, but Felix Passlack restored Gent's advantage on 77 minutes. Christian Burgess then headed Hibernian level in the 84th minute, only for Miguel Changa Chaiwa to deflect the ball into his own net in stoppage time to hand Gent the winner. Changa Chaiwa's evening ended in further misery when he received a second yellow card moments later, reducing Gent to ten men at the final whistle.
The two sides finished level on shots — 13 apiece — with Hibernian edging possession at 56%, though it ultimately counted for little. Our pre-match AI model had rated a Gent win as the most likely outcome at 37%, a call that proved correct.
