Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Easter Road Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The 41-year-old Mark Milligan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' Charles Dunne has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' 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.
- 19' Marc McNulty makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Hibernian FC are in front.
- 19' Tom Aldred picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 24' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Motherwell FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 29' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Hibernian FC and Motherwell FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 33' The referee calls foul for David Gray. He receives a Yellow card.
- 38' Danny Johnson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Motherwell FC so far.
- 39' Assisted by Stephen Mallan with the perfectly-timed delivery and David Gray makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 44' 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 Paul Hanlon suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' Another substitution for Hibernian FC to replace David Gray by Sean Mackie on 47 minute.
- 52' Curtis Main is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Hibernian FC tonight.
- 53' Sean Mackie picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 58' Florian Kamberi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Hibernian FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 68' Motherwell FC make a change. Allan Campbell trudges off to be replaced by Elliott Frear on 68 minutes.
- 72' The whistle greets Vykintas Slivka as he departs to be replaced by Marvyn Bartley.
- 76' The Motherwell FC manager makes a substitution. Gboly Ariyibi departs to be replaced by Danny Johnson.
- 78' That is a Yellow card for Motherwell FC. Alex Gorrin will be fuming at that decision.
- 83' Motherwell FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Lukas Fadinger scoring 1 goals.
- 85' Hibernian FC ring the changes. Daryl Horgan has done his job and it is now time for Fraser Murray to step up.
- 90' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Motherwell FC winning 100% of all matches.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
