Motherwell trails 22nd place by three points. To advance to the next round, they would have to win and hope for a significant goal swing in their favour. Hibernian B now has a ten-goal advantage and is three points ahead in the final qualifying slot. Additionally, St Mirren B leads by three points and has a nine-goal advantage. Jens Berthel Askou was hoping for a similar result after defeating the Dons in their last two encounters.
Callum Slattery had the finest opportunity of the first half while controlling possession. The midfielder blasted an effort towards goal, but Mitov was able to tip it over. The second half proceeded in the same manner, but Motherwell was unable to capitalise on possession and were forced to watch as Jesper Karlsson charged forward and opened the score by smashing into the net. Fortunately, minutes later, Slattery and Elijah Just were on the ball to react swiftly from a peculiar corner kick routine. With the draw, Motherwell’s league winning streak was extended to three games, giving them seven points out of a possible nine. The Steelmen are now three games undefeated in the league after Elijah Just’s goal neutralised Jesper Karlsson’s opening goal.
Elijah Just’s equaliser from a swiftly taken corner gave the Steelmen a 1-1 draw after Jesper Karlsson’s long-range goal opened the score. The team that lost to St Mirren at Hampden last weekend had two changes. Liam Gordon and Ibrahim Said were replaced by Callum Slattery and Stephen Welsh in the starting eleven. The two teams had already met three times this season, with the Steelmen defeating the Dons the first two times. Motherwell got off to a really good start. They were in excellent attacking positions, had a lot of the ball, and made several deft passes, but they lacked that cutting edge.
The first people to pose a threat were the visitors. Lukas Fadinger hit a lovely ball over the top, which Callum Slattery pulled down on his chest, forcing Mitov to make a fantastic stop. They were given another opportunity to score from a left-hand corner. Tawanda Maswanhise received the ball, but his attempt was inches off the near post. Just before halftime, Aberdeen had a fantastic opportunity to break the impasse, but Marko Lazetic was unable to strike the target after getting on the end of Karlsson’s free kick. The teams were tied at halftime, but Aberdeen appeared lucky not to be down a man because Emmanuel Gyamfi continued to commit fouls even after receiving a card.
Despite all of Motherwell’s possession, Aberdeen took the lead at the hour mark. Karlsson had enough of room to respond and beat Ward with a long-range strike. However, the Steelmen weren’t behind for very long. Callum Slattery’s quick thinking allowed him to locate Elijah in his corner. He was totally unmarked, poked level, and killed his second opponent in two league games. Well finished sixth in the league and undefeated in three Premiership games as the encounter meandered out to a 1-1 draw because neither team could find a clear cutting edge.
