Dylan Vente made an immediate impact as a Hibs player on his debut. The Dutchman nodded home from close range to restore the home side’s advantage after Ismaji Beka cancelled out Joe Newell’s opener, which had been assisted by Vente.

Jordan Obita then smashed in a third in injury-time to lift the roof off Easter Road and give Lee Johnson’s side a cushion going into the away leg.

It was a bold team selection by the Hibs boss, going with a 4-4-2 formation and two out-and-out wingers in Elie Youan and Martin Boyle, but it ended up paying dividends with many home players excelling in the win.

Made an important early save to keep the fans onside and confidence high. Did irk the crowd at times by refusing to release the ball quickly. (Photo: Mark Scates – SNS Group)

This is how they scored individually…

A little bit suspect at the Luzern goal and could have done better with an early second-half header. (Photo: Ross Parker – SNS Group)

Passed the ball well for the most part, though he did have a few sloppy plays in quick succession after Hibs fell behind. Defended well, though. (Photo: Ross Parker – SNS Group)

Didn’t make as big an impact as he typically does, but his running was a threat Luzern had to always respect. (Photo: Ross Parker – SNS Group)

One of his best showings in a Hibs jersey. Worked tirelessly defensively, committed in the tackle, passed it well and had a big hand, including scoring, in the opening two goals. (Photo: Mark Scates – SNS Group)

A really intelligent and hard-working player. His touch and cross for Dylan Vente’s goal were exceptional. (Photo: Ross Parker – SNS Group)

Worked hard, scored one, assisted another and showed some nice touches. Hibs fans can expect to fall in love with the £700,000 Dutchman. (Photo: Ross Parker – SNS Group)

Decision-making again let him down at times. Tried to run at the opposing defence but didn’t get much out of it. Substituted at half-time. (Photo: Mark Scates – SNS Group)
