0' That's the starting whistle at Fir Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Motherwell FC and Falkirk FC.
5' Falkirk 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.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Craig Sibbald made 251 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
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.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Alfred Johansson might look to freshen things up shortly.
30' It looks surprising Motherwell FC does not make any changes. Lewis Neilson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
35' A quiet spell here at Fir Park. Falkirk FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
40' Motherwell FC currently sit 4 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

46' A tactical swap from Motherwell FC — Alex Lowry on, Mikey Booth off on 46 minutes.
51' The referee shows Motherwell FC player a card on 51.
56' Falkirk FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
61' McGovern Paul has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
64' Motherwell FC ring the changes. Thomas Sparrow has done his job and it is now time for Johnny Koutroumbis to step up.
65' A moment of madness from Ben Krauhaus on 65 minutes earns him a card. Falkirk FC will be frustrated.
65' Jake Girdwood-Reich is replacing Martin Moormann for the Motherwell FC side.
68' The whistle greets Ben Parkinson as he departs to be replaced by Ross MacIver.
73' 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.
75' The referee has no hesitation. Lukas Fadinger is booked for Motherwell FC — card on 75.
76' The crowd applauds Emmanuel Longelo as he leaves the pitch. Ewan Wilson steps in for Motherwell FC.
81' Both keepers have barely been tested. Motherwell FC and Falkirk FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
86' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
90' The Falkirk FC bench stirs into life. Ben Krauhaus is withdrawn and Jack McMillan gets his opportunity.
The points are shared — Motherwell FC 0-0 Falkirk FC. Honours even.
