Match report
Motherwell hosted Falkirk for the second round of the Premiership. The match finished 0:0 after ninety minutes of play. Neither side could break the deadlock. To be fair, the game was tight from the start.
F. Yeats received a yellow card in the forty-fourth minute. Half-time brought a double change for the hosts, bringing on M. Booth and replacing F. Yeats. By then, the intensity had picked up without a goal being scored.
Discipline remained an issue, with M. Moormann booked in the fifty-first minute. B. Krauhaus went to the referee in the sixty-fifth minute, joined later by L. Fadinger. Substitutions continued to shuffle the sides, including T. Sparrow for Moormann at the sixty-fifth minute. And here's the thing, the match rarely got going in earnest despite the activity on the bench. E. Longelo came on in the seventy-sixth minute, but the stalemate held firm.
Motherwell dominated possession at 58 per cent but struggled to finish. They registered 81 attacks yet managed just one shot on target. Falkirk countered with 112 attacks and zero big chances created.
The draw keeps Motherwell fifth in the table on eight points. Falkirk sit eleventh with two points after three defeats. It was a result that might suit the visitors more than the hosts given their recent form. They cannot afford another slip if they want to climb away from the bottom half.
