Outstanding performance
Hibernian•AttackerHibernian secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over St. Mirren at Easter Road, with Owen Elding's first-half opener setting the foundation before substitute Ante Suto sealed the points shortly after his introduction. The home side controlled proceedings throughout, with Elding's strike just before the break proving to be the crucial breakthrough after a cagey opening period. St. Mirren's task became significantly harder after Richard King's booking in the 62nd minute, and Hibernian capitalised immediately through the fresh legs of Suto, who found the net just two minutes after entering the fray. The victory lifts Hibs further up the table and demonstrates their ability to grind out results in tight contests, while St. Mirren's struggles in front of goal continue to hamper their campaign.
