After a goalless first half, Guillaume Lopez fired the hosts in front with 20 minutes remaining, but a quickfire response from Murphy, who capitalised on an error by Santa Coloma goalkeeper Miguel Angel Ramos brought Hibs level on the night and restored their three-goal aggregate cushion and minutes later Mackay reacted quickest to slot home a second after the impressive Josh Campbell had smacked an effort off the base of the post.
Hibs had Matt Macey to thank after the ‘keeper pulled off three important saves to ensure safe passage for the Easter Road side.
