Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Motherwell FC vs Hibernian FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Motherwell FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Lukas Fadinger scoring 1 goals.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Motherwell FC and Hibernian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' Allan Campbell has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Motherwell FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 30' 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.
  • 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 Kevin Nisbet suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Liam Polworth, as he is very good at scoring at Fir Park with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tony Watt made 264 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 55' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ofir Marciano is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Motherwell FC.
  • 59' Brilliant from the forward! Martin Boyle makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 59.
  • 64' Joe Newell has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 69' The crowd applauds Drey Wright as he leaves the pitch. Christian Doidge steps in for Hibernian FC.
  • 70' Time for substitution for Motherwell FC. Chris Long is replaced by Sherwin Seedorf.
  • 75' Bevis Mugabi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Hibernian FC so far.
  • 76' Stephen McGinn has so much to prove this time. He replaces Melker Hallberg on 76 minute.
  • 81' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 82' Tony Watt picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 82' A change in the Motherwell FC ranks — Liam Polworth exits the field as Jake Hastie enters on 82.
  • 87' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 88' Christian Doidge does the damage! The net is bulging and Hibernian FC surge ahead!
  • 89' That is a Yellow card for Hibernian FC. Stephen McGinn will be fuming at that decision.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Hibernian FC take all three points.
