Hibs played the third game of their pre-season tour tonight, against ADO Den Haag. The Hibees narrowly lost out 2-1 to the Eredivisie side, this despite Michael Hart giving his side the lead. Ex Aberdeen and Preston full back Hart scored with just one minute on the clock at the Kyocera Stadium (a stunning stadium that cost a cool 29m Euros to build). However, Den Haag hit back within 10 minutes. Midfielder Lex Immers then grabbed a second to give Den Haag a half time lead. Den Haag went on to have the better of the second half, and created a few chances, but the Hibees put in another decent performance against tough opposition, with Mark Brown playing well in goals. Hibs had a few chances of their own, Anthony Stokes missing the most clear, blasting high and wide, while one-on-one with the keeper.
The Hibees now look forward to their last game of the Dutch tour, with a game against Vitesse Arnhem, at Driel Nr Arnhem, on Saturday 24th July 2010, with a 3pm kick off (local time).
Vitesse finished in 14th spot last season, 2 points and 2 places ahead of Den Haag.
The Hibs line-up was:
Brown, Hart, Stephens, Hanlon, Stevenson, Galbraith, McBride, Thicot, Currie, Riordan, Stokes.
Subs:
Smith, Nish, Murray, Miller, Wotherspoon, Rankin, Hogg, De Graaf.
