Hibs lost the first leg 4-1 at Easter Road

Hibernian Ladies crashed out of the Women's Champions League at the last 32 stage after a 5-1 defeat to Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic.

Trailing 4-1 from the first leg, Hibs fell behind at Sinobo Stadium within five minutes through Petra Divisova.

Amy Gallagher levelled but Tereza Kozarova scored twice and Katerina Svitkova and Tereza Szewieczkova heaped more misery on the Scottish side.

It leaves Glasgow City as Scotland's sole representatives.

The Scottish champions host Chertanovo Moscow on Thursday holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

Slavia had lost just two of their 12 knockout ties at home in this competition - Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, as well as six-time winners Lyon, had all left Prague without a win.

And Slavia - who have reached the quarter-finals three times in the last four years - showed their class on a difficult night for last season's SWPL runners-up.

"As daft as it'll sound, similar to the first leg we've competed so well and just got sucker punched," head coach Grant Scott said. "The opposition, the quality that they have, have punished us big time.

"Honestly, I feel a fraud saying it, but hand on heart I just don't believe it's a true reflection of the performance over the two legs. I don't think we've played badly. It's really, really frustrating.

"Our squad, having to evolve and get to this point, they should be really proud of that. But ultimately we've come up against a really top side."
