Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Heart of Midlothian FC is hosting Motherwell FC for another epic battle.
  • 4' Liam Kelly catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 4.
  • 9' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 14' Motherwell FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 14.
  • 19' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 24' Stephen Kingsley has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 14 cards already picked up this season.
  • 29' Kevin van Veen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 34' The Motherwell FC bench stirs into life. Barry Maguire is withdrawn and Sean Goss gets his opportunity.
  • 37' Andrew Halliday makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Heart of Midlothian FC are in front.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Heart of Midlothian FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Heart of Midlothian FC ring the changes. John Souttar has done his job and it is now time for Toby Sibbick to step up.
  • 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Beni Baningime, as he is very good at scoring at Tynecastle Park with 2 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 58' What composure from Ellis Simms! The England international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 60' Another substitution for Heart of Midlothian FC to replace Cameron Devlin by Peter Haring on 60 minute.
  • 65' With 1 assists to his name this season, Nathaniel Atkinson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Motherwell FC.
  • 68' Peter Haring has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 68.
  • 71' A tactical swap from Motherwell FC — Connor Shields on, Jordan Roberts off on 71 minutes.
  • 76' 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 Alex Cochrane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' Time for substitution for Heart of Midlothian FC. Liam Boyce is replaced by Barrie McKay.
  • 80' Controversy at the stadium! Sean Goss argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Justin Amaluzor. He replaces Sean Goss on 81 minute.
  • 86' Heart of Midlothian FC is showing some good football. However, Heart of Midlothian FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 87' It is a substitution in Heart of Midlothian FC team. Andrew Halliday is replaced by Alex Cochrane on 87 minute.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
