Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Hibernian FC and Motherwell FC is underway.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' Oscar Priestman has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Alex Lowry has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 406 appearances.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Motherwell FC come into this ranked 4 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Hibernian FC and Motherwell FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' What a moment for Lukas Fadinger! That strike on 40 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 45' Owen Elding is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Hibernian FC so far.
  • 48' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josh Mulligan on 48.
  • 53' 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.
  • 55' Motherwell FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 55.
  • 56' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Martin Boyle makes it 1-1.
  • 60' Rudi Molotnikov has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adam Mayor on 60 minute.
  • 65' Zambia international Miguel Chaiwa has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 66' Jake Girdwood-Reich makes way for Jamie Knight-Lebel at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Motherwell FC.
  • 68' The referee has no hesitation. Lukas Fadinger is booked for Motherwell FC — card on 68.
  • 73' Martin Boyle makes way for Ante Suto at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from Hibernian FC.
  • 75' A change in the Motherwell FC ranks — Regan Charles-Cook exits the field as Alex Lowry enters on 75.
  • 76' That is a card for Motherwell FC. Thomas Sparrow will be fuming at that decision.
  • 81' Hibernian FC currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 82' Fresh legs for Motherwell FC! Ewan Wilson comes on to replace Emmanuel Longelo.
  • 85' Goal! Ibrahim Said scores his 1 goal in 297 matches.
  • 90' 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 Emmanuel Longelo suffering a number of foals already.
  • The final score is 1-2.
