Scott Allan (pen)
Hibs are level as Scott Allan slams home the spot kick.
Calum Butcher just couldn't handle the pace of Martin Boyle and there were no complaints from the visitors.

A collector's item as Lawrence Shankland blazes a great chance over the top as Hibs go to sleep while defending a corner.
A huge let-off for the home side.

It's a right good cup tie. Two sides looking to go and win this game and win it in normal time, they're not saving anything or holding anything back.

When you've got someone that can do what Lawrence Shankland can do, it changes the whole dynamic of a team. If they lose him in the summer, which is what it sounded like from Robbie Neilson, then they've got an awful lot of work to do.

Martin Boyle has been quiet so far but here comes the Hibs winger haring after a Scott Allan pass and his effort is deflected wide for a corner.

I tell you what, it's an entertaining game because there's lots happening in and around the penalty boxes. Hibs boss Jack Ross will be tearing his hair out though, as it was a wonderful opportunity for Doidge.

What a strike from Lawrence Shankland! One the visiting fans certainly appreciated. The two thousand or so Dundee United supporters are in full voice now, and why not? A brilliant opener.

CLOSE!published at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2020
Hibernian 0-1 Dundee United
Scott Allan plays in a super first-time pass to release Christian Doidge, who shoots just wide. The big Hibs striker, who opened the scoring at Tannadice, is perhaps guilty of rushing that effort as the home fans have their hands on their heads in frustration...
GREAT SAVE!published at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2020
Hibernian 0-1 Dundee United
Steven Whittaker with another great chance to score for Hibs as United give the ball away in a dangerous position. It's three-on-one but the midfielder goes alone and he can't beat Benjamin Siegrist with his powerful shot.

There's no under cooking this, that is unbelievable! That is a fierce strike. He's been really polished tonight. He takes that one on the chest and everybody knows he's got one thing on his mind, he's absolutely laced that on the half-volley and Marciano had no chance. Top drawer.

Who else? Lawrence Shankland controls on his chest and rockets a half-volley past a bewildered Ofir Marciano from near the edge of the box.

What brilliant feet, that was like a flashback to what he was doing when he was a younger man. He's so comfortable going on to the left foot. He just waltzed inand once he gets there he should score but he's gone for the smaller target and shoots wide.

United on the attack now and there are few oohs and aahs from the away fans as a Peter Pawlett header strays wide and Lawrence Shankland is given offside as he tries to recover the situation with a header of his own.

Steven Whittaker is allowed to charge forward unopposed and the Hibs veteran weaves his way to the edge of the box to let fly with a shot that is just inches wide.

Not the biggest crowd at Easter Road, but a healthy travelling support.

United did not have a great deal of energy in the middle of the park in the first tie. The midfield three didn't get close to Scott Allan and Hibs dominated
