Maccabi Tel Aviv set up a third qualifying round clash against FC Viktoria Plzeň in the Champions League after cruising past the challenge of Maltese minnows Hibernians on Tuesday night.

The Israeli champions won the second leg 5-1 to claim a 6-3 success on aggregate.

Trailing 2-1 from the away leg last week, Maccabi levelled the tie at a balmy Bloomfield Stadium via an own goal from Jorginho.

However, the Bloomfield was stunned into momentary silence as Rodolfo Soares made it 1-1 on the night with an away goal for the visitors.
