Overview
- The Scottish side were beaten 2-0 in Pristina on Thursday after Kreshnik Uka opened the scoring in the 21st minute and Valjmir Nafiu added a late finish in the 90th minute.
- Hibs created gilt-edged chances but failed to convert them, with on-loan striker Nathan Lowe missing two clear opportunities through the match.
- Manager David Gray called the display "unacceptable," apologised to supporters and accepted responsibility for the poor performance.
- Travelling Hibs fans booed the team after the game and demanded explanations as the squad left the Fadil Vokrri Stadium.
- The result is a landmark win for Malisheva, a club founded in 2016, and leaves Hibernian with a home rescue mission next week to reach the third qualifying round.
