Hibernian 3-0 Falkirk: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

The turning points came in quick succession before half-time, starting with Martin Boyle converting a penalty in the 36th minute to open the scoring, followed by Kieron Bowie’s first goal five minutes later, assisted by Josh Mulligan, which really put Hibs in command. Falkirk’s early yellow cards to Dylan Tait, Leon McCann, Calvin Miller, and Filip Lissah piled on the pressure, and a VAR check involving Ethan Ross in the 66th minute didn’t lead to any major drama.

Hibs wrapped things up with Kieron Bowie’s second goal in the 80th minute, set up by Josh Campbell, shortly after their triple substitution at 77 minutes that brought fresh legs into midfield and attack. Falkirk’s half-time changes aimed to spark a comeback, but they couldn’t create enough to trouble Hibs, who picked up a late yellow for Bowie before his exit.

Hibernian lined up in a 3-1-4-2 shape that gave them solidity at the back while allowing players like Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie to push forward effectively in attack. The partnership up front proved deadly, with Bowie netting twice and Boyle grabbing the opener from the spot, supported by midfield contributions from the likes of Josh Mulligan in assists.

Falkirk set out in a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming for control in midfield with players like Dylan Tait and Ethan Ross involved early on, but their backline struggled with discipline as several yellow cards disrupted the flow. Substitutes such as Alfie Agyeman and Scott Arfield were brought on to try and add energy, though it wasn’t enough to break down Hibs.

Coral’s Man of the Match goes to Kieron Bowie, who was outstanding for Hibernian with his brace of goals that really made the difference in the 3-0 win. He didn’t notch any assists or big chances created, but his one key pass showed his involvement in the build-up, and his sharp finishing stood out on a day when Hibs needed clinical edge up front.
