Motherwell and Falkirk played out a frustrating 0-0 stalemate at Fir Park, with neither side able to break the deadlock despite reasonable chances. The hosts dominated possession, controlling the ball for much of the afternoon, but both teams managed just a single shot on target apiece. Emmanuel Longelo was named man of the match for his efforts in the Motherwell defence, keeping things tight at the back when it mattered. It was a drab affair that leaves both teams treading water in the table. Motherwell will feel they should have made their possession count, while Falkirk can at least point to a solid defensive display away from home. A point apiece means neither side gains ground on their rivals, and both will be hoping for a better showing next time out.
The Matchup
Motherwell and Falkirk drew 0-0 at Fir Park, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Motherwell holding 58% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
