22/7/2006 Intertoto Cup Round 3 Second Leg

Hibernian 2 v 1 Odense ( Agg 2-2)

Jones
Dalglish

1-0 down from the first leg HIBS struggled to breakdown a danish side -containing ex hibee Ulrik Laursen - that put every man behind the ball and were expert at retaining possession denying HIBS the space needed to exploit the pace of Ivan Sproule

Hibs failed to learn their lesson when midfielder Tobias Grahn who had missed two glorious opportunities to open the scoring just after the interval took his third chance when he gratefully accepted a Morten Fevang pass to smash the ball beyond Simon Brown to put the Danes 2-0 up and give them a valuable away goal silencing the home crowd

All credit to HIBS now needing three goals to qualify they pushed every man forward and centre half Rob Jones immediately pulled a goal back when he got his head to a misdirected shot from Michael Stewart. Kevin Thomson went close with a curler that just went past the far post and Stephen Glass shot over the crossbar from a good position

With ten minutes remaining first half substitute Paul Dalglish who had replaced the injured Chris Killen gave HIBS the lead with a clever goal and Rob Jones was pushed up beside him as an auxiliary centre forward

Unfortunately HIBS were unable to breach a well marshalled Odense defence for a third time and the danish side held on

Hibs: Brown Whittaker Murphy Hogg Jones Stewart Thomson Glass Sproule Killen and Benji

Subs: Dalglish Shiels and Stevenson
