Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Motherwell FC to score. At the same time, Aberdeen FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 3' That is a Yellow card for Aberdeen FC. Ross McCrorie will be fuming at that decision.
- 8' Motherwell FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 13' Liam Kelly has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 12 cards already picked up this season.
- 18' 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 David Bates suffering a number of foals already.
- 23' The energy levels are beginning to show. Graham Alexander might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kaiyne Woolery made 57 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 34' Aberdeen FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Vicente Besuijen on 34.
