Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Global Energy Stadium as Ross County FC face off against Motherwell FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 2' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Simon Murray makes it 1-0.
  • 7' 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.
  • 12' Liam Kelly, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 17' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 18' What a moment for Yan Dhanda! That strike on 18 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 20' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Blair Spittal.
  • 25' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-1-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 40' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 43' Jordan White picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' Calum Butcher gets the nod from Motherwell FC. He replaces Shane Blaney and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' A stunning finish from Ben Purrington — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 59' The whistle greets Theo Bair as he departs to be replaced by Jonathan Obika.
  • 64' 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 Callum Slattery suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' It’s gonna be a card for Georgie Gent.
  • 71' The whistle greets Connor Randall as he departs to be replaced by Victor Loturi.
  • 76' Josh Sims is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yan Dhanda at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 86' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 87' A tactical swap from Ross County FC — Alex Samuel on, Simon Murray off on 87 minutes.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Will Nightingale. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Ross County FC and Motherwell FC (для сухой ничьи).
