Shkëndija was defeated in their opening away match against Hibernian on August 6, 2026, as part of the third qualifying round for the Conference League. The Scottish side secured a 2-1 victory against the Albanian club. The match began with a relatively subdued first half, with neither team managing to score and limited goal-scoring opportunities, according to reports.
The scoring commenced in the 73rd minute when Elding put Hibernian ahead. Shkëndija responded just three minutes later, with Gjogjevski, who had entered the game as a substitute, scoring to equalize the score. However, O’Hora scored in the 90th minute, restoring Hibernian’s lead and securing the narrow win for the Scottish team.
Despite the result in this away fixture, the possibility of an upset remains open ahead of the return match, which is scheduled to take place in Skopje next week.
