    This is a dangerous period for Cove now. They know they just have 15 minutes to hold on but it'll roll by really slowly. They can't let that be their mindset.

    Kevin Nisbet does well to gather a Jamie Murphy pass in his stride but the Hibs striker sends his shot from 18 yards just wide.

    Hibs just don't have that cutting edge, but it's going to be a long 15 minutes for Cove. Even if they get to penalties, what kind of shape will they be in to take them?

    Cove are putting everything on the line, some of them can barely stand up, but fair play to them they keep going. Penalties looks to be the best they can hope for now.

    That's a fantastic ball in from Josh Doig but where's Kevin Nisbet? Where's your goalscorer?

    More loud complaints from the frustrated Hibs supporters as a foul is given for a perfectly time Josh Campbell tackle.

    The officials haven't had the best night, have they?

    Josh Doig flashes in a glorious cross from the left but James Scott is an inch or two shy from making contact.

    The groans from the home fans are getting louder.

    The Cove defenders get a welcome breather as their forwards get the ball up the other end for 30 seconds or so.

    It'll be coming back their way soon enough though.

    Hibs wing-back Josh Doig sneaks in behind the Cove defence to meet a lovely straight pass from Joe Newell but toe-pokes wide from the edge of the box.

    I imagine Cove are just holding out for penalties now, but they are more than deserving of extrra-time. They have been excellent.

    Ryan Strachan to the rescue for Cove!

    Chris Cadden with yet another low delivery. This time Chris Mueller is racing in to meet it but the defender throws himself into a brilliant goal-saving interception.
