What a header it is from Elliot Watt because that is goal-bound. I'm not sure Callum Ward was getting to that.

Elliot Watt is pulling all the strings down there for Motherwell. Everything comes through him.

And he's now just pulled off a goal-line clearance. He's having a ball.

Desperate defending from the hosts, who can't get the ball clear and Nicky Devlin's goal-bound header is diverted off the line by Elliot Watt.

Down Aberdeen's left-hand side I think is a major problem.

An outstanding pass from Elliot Watt gets Tawanda Maswanhise down the right, but his ball across goal can't be turned in.

The flag goes up anyway. Maswanhise was just off.

Decent bit of pressure from Aberdeen, but Stephen Welsh gets across to clear Jesper Karlsson's dangerous pass across goal.

Whether or not Dimitar Mitov was actually hurt, both teams used the opportunity to regroup.

Half-time is 10 minutes away, lads. Just wait...

Well keeper Calum Ward flies to his right to save a Adil Aouchiche strike on the volley.

Decent effort, that.

Thankfully for Aberdeen, Dimitar Mitov is okay to continue after doing a bit of stretching with the physios.

Motherwell 0-0 Aberdeen

Aberdeen keeper Dimitar Mitov sits down and signals to the away bench.

This doesn't look great for Jimmy Thelin.

Mats Knoester is late on Tawanda Maswanhise and the Dons defender is into the book.

It's a terrible effort from Said. At full speed, he doesn't slow down to set himself.

Well forward Ibrahim Said drives forward into space and lets one fly.

The less said about the effort, the better.

Motherwell have taken the ball at the back but haven't been able to cut through Aberdeen.

They've opted for far more diagonals than I'm used to seeing from them.

An excellent flick over Mats Knoester's head gets Tawanda Maswanhise into the Dons box, but he's too hesitant in his next action.

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos rises for a header, but there isn't a lot of pace on the cross and he's under pressure.

Motherwell have had more than 60% off the ball in the opening 26 minutes but have managed just one shot, which was off target.

Dimitar Mitov comes out of his box to clear a ball and collides with Tawanda Maswanhise.

Foul awarded to the Aberdeen goalie.

It's all and well saying about the formation and style, but it's when Aberdeen get into good areas there is a bit of apprehension in the final pass.

Dimitar Mitov gets away with one in the Dons goal as he fumbles a driven cross from Tawanda Maswanhise and manages to just get there at the second attempt.
