67 mins: Chisholm replaces Zemmama and Gatheussi replaces Beuzelin. 

67 mins: Vaz Te makes a superb run down the right. He cuts inside and hits a good shot straight at the Hibs 'keeper. 

63 mins: Harsanyi goes clear again, this time down the right. He gets beyond the cover defence and drives his shot low and hard, which goes agonisingly wide of the Hibs goal.

61 mins: Harsanyi goes clear down the left hand channel. He gets his shot away from inside the area, but it is saved well by Ma-Kalambay.

57 mins: Sissons replaces Diouf and Obadeyi replaces Guthrie.

50 mins: A dangerous corner from the left by Zemmama is fired across the Bolton goal. Donaldson tries to get on the end of it at the far post but can't get a touch. A chance for Hibs is missed.

46 mins:Beuzelin has a great chance after Wanderers fail to clear Zemmama's corner. The centre-back hits his shot into the side netting from two-yards out. 

45 mins: Wolfe replaces Stelios, Harsanyi replaces Helguson and Donaldson replaces Fletcher.

44 mins: A sweeping move up the middle by Bolton with Guthrie at the centre of Bolton's driving force. He finds Vaz Te on the right, who cuts inside and hits a powerful shot beyond Ma-Kalambay rattling the ball onto the Hibs bar. A great chance to get Wanderers back in the game going into the half-time break.  

40 mins: Fletcher is causing Bolton real problems and, yet again, gets beyond Faye and Michalik at the back. He tries a low shot from 12-yards out, which is well saved by Walker.

37 mins: Benelloun is in acres of space at the back post after great approach work by Zemmama down the left. He gets his volley on target and Walker has to make an excellent save to deny Hibs increasing their lead.

35 mins: Hibs again catch Wanderers back four flat and Fletcher races onto a great ball by McCann, but the talented striker can't direct his shot towards goal with the ball hitting the side netting.

goal 28 mins: GOAL!! Fletcher beats the Bolton offside trap after a delightful ball from Stevenson over the top of the Bolton defence. Fletcher shows his class by driving the ball beyond Walker from 10-yards out.

24 mins: Helguson has another golden opportunity. Diouf and Guthrie combine well to find the Icelandic. He gets his shot away from close-range, but Ma-Kalambay makes an excellent block denying the striker his first goal for the Whites.

21 mins: Hibs move quickly on the counter-attack and forward Fletcher gets into a perfect position inside the box on the right hand channel, but he can't keep his shot down as he fires it over the Bolton goal.

19 mins: A half-chance from Vaz Te at the near post. He tries to get his shot away from an acute angle, but it lacks power. 

15 mins: A corner from the left by Hibs finds Jones unmarked at the back post. The big defender has a free shot on goal, but volleys wide of Walker.

13 mins: A golden opportunity for Bolton. Diouf delivers a superb free kick from the left. Ma-Kalambay fumbles the ball into the path of Speed, but the Bolton midfielder somehow can't find the net and hits it straight at the Hibs 'keeper.

10 mins: Helguson shows his class down the left. He cuts inside and hits a powerful shot from 30-yards, which hammers against the upright - a great chance from Bolton's new man.

8 mins: Vaz Te feeds Guthrie into a great area on the right hand side of the penalty area. His effort is blocked for a corner, but Bolton fail to make any opportunities from the corner.

5 mins: Diouf gets in a good cross from the right and Helguson nearly marks his debut with a goal, but he can't stretch for the ball at the far post.

4  mins: Hibs midfielder Kerr makes an excellent run from deep and tries his luck at a long-range effort, which just misses the Bolton goal by inches. 

2  mins: First effort comes from Hibs as Fletcher receives a lovely through ball from Benjelloun, but Walker is quick out of the block to sniff out the danger.
