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.
This is how they scored individually...

6. MC - Dylan Levitt - 8
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

8. MC - Joe Newell - 9
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
