Opened the scoring
Second half goals from Grant Brebner and Garry O'Connor saw Hibs overcome a tricky tie at Recreation Park tonight.

After a goalless first half, the deadlock was broken just before the hour mark. Alen Orman swung a corner in, which was chested down by Paco Luna, into the path of Brebner, who blasted the ball home from close range.

It took until the 72nd minute for Hibs to get the clinching goal. The impressive Zambernardi punted a long ball, which was picked up by Garry O'Connor. The Scotland international, starting for the injured McManus, then dispatched a lovely shot from the edge of the box past Wasps' keeper Evans.

Not the best of performances, but a win is a win. And we're in the next round.
