KAA Gent beat Hibernian 3-2 in the Liga Conferência at Easter Road on 27 August 2026. The Conference League fixture closed with the hosts a player down after a stoppage-time red card. An effort from M. Boyle was ruled out early in the second half. The official scoreline was 2-3 to the visitors.

Match Summary

Gent left with the away win. The first half offered little that can be attached to the scoring, so the story there is the visitors' bookings. C. Burgess was shown a yellow in the 32nd minute. T. De Vlieger followed in the 44th, still before the interval. Juan Martinez Munuera of Spain refereed.

Straight after the restart came the incident that looked like a Hibernian goal and was not. In the 47th minute M. Boyle had an effort ruled out. It does not count. Hibernian still ended on two in the official 2-3 scoreline, Gent on three.

M. Chaiwa was booked in the 60th minute. Confirmed cards then waited until the dying seconds. In the third minute of stoppage time Hibernian were shown a red. The player was not named. Gent, still at full strength, saw out the 3-2 victory.

Key Moments

Boyle's disallowed effort just after half-time is the swing that can be named without guessing who scored when. A home moment was taken off the board, and it never became part of Hibernian's two.

Gent walked a disciplinary line before the break and did not cross it. Burgess and De Vlieger were both cautioned in the first half, yet the visitors kept 11 on the field and still took the result.

The red in stoppage time did not create the 2-3 score by itself. It did, however, send Hibernian to the whistle a man light, which is why the home side alone finished with a dismissal.
