Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Aberdeen FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Motherwell FC that had 298 games and scored 348 goals.
- 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Magnificent from Danny Johnson! That is 10 goals in 298 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 30' Danny Johnson makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Motherwell FC are in front.
- 35' 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 Peter Hartley suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' Motherwell FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Aberdeen FC backline.
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Motherwell FC and Aberdeen FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 46' A tactical swap from Aberdeen FC — Sam Cosgrove on, James Wilson off on 46 minutes.

- 63' The Aberdeen FC manager makes a substitution. Stevie May departs to be replaced by Scott Wright.
- 68' The 29-year-old Scott McKenna has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 73' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Robinson might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 75' Time for substitution for Aberdeen FC. Niall McGinn is replaced by Bruce Anderson.
- 76' Alex Gorrin gets the nod from Motherwell FC. He replaces David Turnbull and will look to change the dynamic.

- 85' Another substitution for Motherwell FC to replace Curtis Main by Conor Sammon on 85 minute.
