Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Fir Park will turn into a battlefield for Motherwell FC and Falkirk FC.
  • 3' Goal! Barney Stewart scores his 1 goal in 38 matches.
  • 8' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Falkirk FC that had 38 games and scored 28 goals.
  • 13' 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 Brad Spencer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' Falkirk FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 3 matches with its main striker Calvin Miller scoring 1 goals.
  • 23' It looks surprising Motherwell FC does not make any changes. Keelan Adams has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Tom Sparrow was booked on 25.
  • 30' Ethan Ross has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 34' GOAL! Elliot Watt scores on 34.
  • 39' 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.
  • 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Liam Henderson on 42.
  • 45' Ben Broggio puts Falkirk FC on the lead.
  • 50' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 3 times this season with Falkirk FC winning 66.67% of all matches.
  • 55' Stephen Welsh needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' It’s gonna be a card for Keelan Adams.
  • 61' Motherwell FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 62' GOAL! Calvin Miller scores on 62.
  • 63' Another substitution for Motherwell FC to replace Tom Sparrow by Sam Nicholson on 63 minute.
  • 68' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 73' The supporters are chanting for Oscar Priestman. He replaces Lukas Fadinger on 73 minute.
  • 78' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 84' Another substitution for Falkirk FC to replace Calvin Miller by Ben Parkinson on 84 minute.
