Hibernian 2 - 3 NK Maribor (agg 2 - 6)
Hibernian exited Europe after stumbling to defeat by NK Maribor in the Europa League qualifier at Easter Road.
An already difficult task following a 3-0 defeat in Slovenia was made nigh on impossible when Marcos Tavares headed the visitors in front after 20 minutes.
Edwin De Graaf pulled Hibs level, deflecting the ball into the net.
However, Dejan Mezga converted a penalty and Tavares added a third for Maribor before De Graaf scored a late consolation for John Hughes's side.
Hibernian manager Hughes made four changes to his side, with Sol Bamba brought back into the squad after being forced to train with the youth team.
Graeme Smith started in goal with Graham Stack injured, and Hughes restored strikers Derek Riordan and Anthony Stokes to his starting eleven.
The home side started positively, but, despite plenty of early pressure, none of the Hibs forward line managed to carve out a clear opportunity.
Dutch winger De Graaf took matters into his own hands and rocketed a shot from just outside the box, but his rasping effort flew just wide of the post.
De Graaf then played the ball into Riordan, but the forward's effort was blocked by the Slovenian defence.
The former Netherlands B international De Graaf was proving influential as Hibs dominated, but he spurned a great chance shooting straight at goalkeeper Marko Pridigar.
However, against the run of play Maribor landed a sucker punch, with forward Marcos Tavares heading the ball past Smith to make it 4-0 on aggregate.
The Easter Road men began to look nervous as Maribor began to dictate the pace of the game, with the home defence looking vulnerable to set pieces.
Dalibor Volas then burst past the Hibs defence, but his dipping long-range effort flew harmlessly over the bar.
Dejan Mezga then passed up a great chance to double Maribor's lead, but he could only hit the post with a bending effort following a shambles in the Hibs defence.
Smith then had to look lively to put a shot from Armin Bacinovic past the post as the Slovenes took control of the match.
Hibs signalled their intent early in the second half when Riordan fired in a looping effort but it went straight to Pridigar.
De Graaf pulled a goal back for Hibs out of nowhere when he deflected a Stokes effort past Pridigar to pull the home side level.
Colin Nish was then set up perfectly in the box, but could only head weakly wide with the goal at his mercy.
A good build-up by Hibs then led to Stokes being played through in the box, but the Irishman's shot across the face of goal was smothered at the second attempt by Pridigar.
But any hopes Hibs had of getting back into the tie ended when Kevin McBride brought down Mezga in the box with the referee pointing to the spot.
The Croatian midfielder converted the penalty, sending Smith the wrong way.
As the game tailed off Hibs gave the ball away in midfield and the Slovenes made the counter-attack count, with Tavares drilling the ball home to make it 6-1 on aggregate.
The impressive De Graaf handed some pride back for Hibs when he lashed the ball into the roof of the net after a fine knock down from Colin Nish to claim his second goal of the night.
