Giant curiosity Hibs finally liberated from the sucker punch

Jordi Altena's delivery from the right finds Claudio Braga, one of the chief dangermen in maroon left all on his lonesome a few yards from goal. Braga's already scored one and is about to score two. Hibs are about to Hibs it all over again. Extra time beckons.

But, no, not this time, not today. Braga blows his big chance. He stands there almost in disbelief. Some of his team-mates are rooted to the spot.

Hibs fans, meanwhile, go berserk. A set of fans hard-bitten by late goals costing them dear this season and last, not just against Hearts, but against Midtjylland and Legia Warsaw, Livingston and Dunfermline, Dundee and Motherwell, Gent and St Mirren, now liberated from the sucker punch.
