BOV player of the match: Jurgen Degabriele (Hibernians).
Hibernians held off a late Mosta rally to maintain their perfect opening and collect their fourth successive win in the Premier League.
The Paolites had seemed set for a serene victory when shy the hour mark Dunstan Vella and Jake Grech added to Jurgen Degabriele’s first-half effort to put them firmly in control.
But Clayton Failla pulled one back from the penalty spot and substitute William Donkin added a second in stoppage time to leave Hibs relieved to hear the final whistle.
