Hibs 3 Charlton 2

Charlton Athletic provided the final pre-season test for Tony Mowbray’s side, and in the event it was a very useful workout for both the Premiership and SPL side. Charlton were quick off the mark and caught Hibs cold when they went ahead courtesy of the first real attack of the game, the English side going further ahead while Hibernian struck woodwork twice. A superb strike however from Scott Brown set the game up for an interesting second half….

Charlton were first to break forward but Hogg was quick enough to cut out an Ambrose cross before Konde cleared, but after just three minutes Charlton opened the scoring. Thomas played the ball wide to Rommedahl, who in turn lifted a superb return pass at chest height for Hasselbank who cushioned the ball down before shooting across Malkowski and into the far corner of the net.
