Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Dundee FC host Motherwell FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Liam Kelly, as he is very good at scoring at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Callum Slattery.
- 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Dundee FC and Motherwell FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 19' What composure from Luke McCowan! The Scotland international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 26' Daniel Mullen doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 31' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 36' Dundee FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Motherwell FC backline.
- 41' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 45' Controversy at the stadium! Daniel Mullen argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 46' Kevin van Veen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Connor Shields on 46 minute.
- 49' Brilliant from the ! Ryan Sweeney makes it 3-0 with a superb finish on 49.
- 53' Another substitution for Dundee FC to replace Lee Ashcroft by Liam Fontaine on 53 minute.
- 58' It’s a booking for Motherwell FC player. Bevis Mugabi gets a Yellow card.
- 59' That is a Yellow card for Dundee FC. Ryan Sweeney will be fuming at that decision.

- 67' A change in the Dundee FC ranks — Max Anderson exits the field as Christie Elliot enters on 67.
- 72' Lee Ashcroft has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 9 cards already picked up this season.
- 76' Liam Fontaine catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 76.
- 81' Jordan Roberts picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cameron Kerr suffering a number of foals already.
- Motherwell FC will have plenty to reflect on. Dundee FC were simply the better side today.
