Topi Keskinen bursts past Liam Gordon and looks to find the near post, but he hits the outside of the side netting.

Should he have passed that? Hmm, maybe.

Nah, the set-piece comes to nothing.

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos does well to win a Motherwell corner.

Eighty-seven on the clock...

The corner is eventually put in and Well defender Johnny Koutroumbis heads clear.

But before that's taken, Esapa Osong will come on for Regan Charles-Cook, who is limping off with the Motherwell medical team.

Aberdeen have got themselves a late corner.

This feels like their first venture forward in a wee while...

Motherwell are ramping up the pressure now as Regan Charles-Cook has a goal-bound effort on the slide blocked.

Kevin Nisbet's night is over and he's replaced by Marko Lazetic up top for Aberdeen.

I just expected the net to bulge there. I don't know if he takes his eye off it or miscues it, but to not even hit the target...

It probably is down to the fact he is having such a poor time in front of goal.

Goalkeeper Calum Ward is trying to encourage the Motherwell men in front of them.

How the hosts aren't ahead... Dearie me.

And he's missed another sitter.

The Australia striker plants a header from just yards out wide of the post.

It's just not happening for Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, who comically slips wide on the right.

Closing in on the 80th minute of Aberdeen's sixth league game of the 2025-26 season and they're still yet to score a single goal.

Motherwell make their first switch as Stephen O'Donnell comes off for Johnny Koutroumbis.

Adil Aouchiche is somehow clean through the middle, but Emmanuel Longelo makes up ground with superb pace and power to smash the Aberdeen forward off the ball at the last second.

Excellent defending.

Groans from the home fans as Motherwell almost get caught on the ball in their own box.

That was dodgy. If Aberdeen are going to finally get a goal, the home team will want them to work for it.

Kevin Nisbet has Adil Aouchiche free in the Motherwell box, but the Dons striker can't get a pass away.

It's poor from Nisbet, but Stephen Welsh defends the situation so well.

I've no idea why he takes a touch. That is a dream opportunity for him to put it into the back of the net and that touch allows Dimitar Mitov to snuff it out.

Oh, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos. Take it first time.

You can imagine the cries of the home support around us. Not suitable for broadcast...

A golden chance for Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, who has to take a touch with acres of space in the box before seeing his close-range effort saved.

A man lacking in confidence.
