A big half-time team talk under way at Easter Road by David Gray as he tries to somehow resurrect Hibs players and urge them to find a way back into the tie.
They are only a quarter of the way through this but surely can’t afford to lose any more goals tonight.
No changes at the break, but I don’t think it will be too long before Gray turns to the bench.

Aberdeen are still dominating possession, but they just don't look like scoring.

Aberdeen 0-2 FCSB

Better from Aberdeen as Ester Sokler heads it to Adil Aouchiche, whose header is saved.
It was tame, but an effort on target at least.
GREAT SAVE!published at 20:59 British Summer Time
Aberdeen 0-2 FCSB

Ooft, it could just have got worse for Aberdeen if it wasn't for Dimitar Mitov.
It's a well-controlled volley from Miculescu on the edge of the box, which is creeping in, before Mitov flings himself down to tip it away.

Even though they're a man down, that shows you the real quality that FCSB have.
The miscommunication is so poor. It really is self-inflicted that goal.

Olaru

Oh dear. The 10-man visitors are two up.
A mess in defence again from the Dons. Gavin Molloy and Mats Knoester leave the ball to one another, and Birligea steals in.
He squares it across goal and half-time sub Darius Olaru finishes well.
HALF-TIME Hibernian 0-2 Legia Warsawpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time

A big team talk is needed from David Gray.
Hibs really started strongly, but that quickly evaporated. They didn't take those chances and were punished at the other end.

Pawel Wszolek

It's going from bad to worse for Hibs.
No doubt about this one. A lovely ball from Jean-Pierre Nsame to the back post picks out Wszolek, and he volleys in from a narrow angle.
Hibs have a mountain to climb.

Come on Aberdeen and Hibs.
Let’s show the Old Firm how it’s done.

That took a long time to decide that was a penalty. Hibs just need to stay calm, the chances will come.
Don't think Josh Campbell will be coming out after half-time. It's a physical game and too big a risk of a red card.

YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time
Hibernian 0-1 Legia Warsaw

Dylan Levitt is into the book, with the referee brandishing the yellow card with unbelievable pace and finesse.
The Welshman went in strongly on Juergen Elitim.

The entire Hibernian bench were adamant a Legia player was in an offside position prior to the penalty award, but neither the fourth official or the referee were having any of it.

I said Aberdeen would get tested, and you've got to be alert at all times, especially in Europe.
I don't think their defensive shape was correct for the goal. They were exposed for the goal.
There's been plenty of good stuff from Aberdeen too, though.
HALF-TIME - Aberdeen 0-1 FCSBpublished at 20:37 British Summer Time

That half sums up Aberdeen for a while now. Some really good play without enough shots on target, before conceding an avoidable goal.
Daniel Birligea's neat finish is the difference, which came after Jack Milne and Gavin Molloy did not cover themselves in glory when dealing with a long ball.
The good news is they have a second half against 10 men to come after Juri Cisotti was sent off for taking down Nicolas Milanovic.
Can they make it count?

Jean-Pierre Nsame

Jordan Smith guesses right, but Legia striker Nsame beats him with power and placement.
Easter Road is silenced.
David Gray talked about his side dealing with adversity in their European ties thus far. They're up against it again.
