Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Tony Macaroni Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Livingston FC and Motherwell FC.
  • 5' Livingston FC have won 245 goals from 251 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Max Stryjek is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Livingston FC so far.
  • 15' 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.
  • 18' Jack Fitzwater was booked on 18.
  • 23' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 28' Livingston FC is showing some good football. However, Livingston FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' The Livingston FC bench stirs into life. Craig Sibbald is withdrawn and Andrew Shinnie gets his opportunity.
  • 35' It is a cagey affair so far. Livingston FC in their trying to find a way past Motherwell FC's compact .
  • 38' Magnificent from Alan Forrest! That is 22 goals in 1 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 43' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 48' A stunning finish from Tony Watt — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 53' 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 Scott Pittman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' It looks surprising Motherwell FC does not make any changes. Ricki Lamie has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' Sean Kelly gets the nod from Livingston FC. He replaces Odin Bailey and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 62' Poor challenge from Liam Grimshaw. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.

  • 72' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Livingston FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 77' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 79' The England Liam Grimshaw breaks the deadlock on 79 minutes. 1-2!
  • 84' A tactical swap from Motherwell FC — Kevin van Veen on, Justin Amaluzor off on 84 minutes.
  • 89' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mark O'Hara made 383 appearances and scored 37 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' Another substitution for Motherwell FC to replace Kaiyne Woolery by Darragh O'Connor on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
