Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Motherwell FC gets underway.
  • 5' Mo Sangare has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' 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 Kurtis Guthrie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' What a strike from Blair Spittal! The score is 1-0.
  • 19' The deadlock is broken! Theo Bair gets on the scoresheet on 19 minutes.
  • 23' A goal from the Scotland international Scott Pittman! He fires home on 23 to make it 2-1!
  • 28' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Motherwell FC and Livingston FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 33' It looks like no one’s ball. Livingston FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Theo Bair makes no mistake. 3-1!
  • 39' Poor challenge from Michael Devlin. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 43' It’s gonna be a card for Jason Holt.
  • 45' Mika Biereth picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 56' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 57' Time for substitution for Motherwell FC. Oliver Shaw is replaced by Callum Slattery.
