    Hibernian 2-2 Motherwell

    Having had the cigars out for most of the game, strolling it, Hibs central defenders Paul Hanlon and Ryan Porteous are looking jittery every time Motherwell come forward.

    Tony Watt has made a difference and the momentum is with Motherwell now

  4. Extra time it is...published at 90+3 mins

    Hibernian 2-2 Motherwell

    We'll get another 30 minutes at Easter Road.

    Hibs will be kicking themselves after letting slip a two-goal lead.

    Although, you have to say that second goal for the hosts was almost certainly offside.

    Joe Newell manages to squeeze away a shot inside the Motherwell penalty box but it's a comfortable save for Liam Kelly.

    It looks like we're going to extra time.

    Tony Watt times his run perfectly, he gets up nice and early, heads it across the goal, no chance for Macey. A magnificent goal for Motherwell.

    Tony Watt

    Stephen O'Donnell pings in a great looping cross from the right and there is Tony Watt, completely unmarked, to nod it down and in.

    Dreadful defending from Hibs, who had plenty of men back.

    Into the final five minutes or so of regulation time. It's tense as Motherwell flood forward looking to snatch an equaliser.

    I don't know if he meant it, but if he did, it was a quality finish!

    Ricki Lamie

    Motherwell pull one back out of the blue as Ricki Lamie lofts the ball back into danger area from the back left edge of the penalty area and it creeps in at the far post.

    Jackson Irvine

    Hibs double their lead as Jackson Irvine picks himself up off the turf to touch in a Kevin Nisbet shot from close range.

    Suspicion of offside since the scorer was beyond goalkeeper Liam Kelly, who had stopped an effort from Martin Boyle and there was only on defender on the line.

    Hibernian 1-0 Motherwell

    A break in play as Motherwell skipper Declan gets some treatment after getting caught by a stray elbow from Christian Doidge.

    It looks like he might lose a tooth.

    The visitors use the break to make another attacking change, replacing Robbie Crawford with Steven Lawless.

    Hibernian 1-0 Motherwell

    With Motherwell making more of a fight of it, Hibs have lost some of their earlier fluency.

    However, the hosts are now a threat on the break, with Kevin Nisbet just caught out by a couple of marginal offside calls.

    Motherwell are starting to spend some time in the Hibs half now, with Tony Watt immediately making a nuisance of himself.

    Hibernian 1-0 Motherwell

    Tony Watt enters the fray. The Motherwell forward was expected to miss out through injury but he's on for defender Tyler Magloire.

    Hibernian 1-0 Motherwell

    Hibs could certainly do with another goal since the clean sheets have dried up of late. Jack Ross' side have only kept one blank in their last eight games - and that came against League 2 Stranraer.

    There's much more room to manoeuvre now for both sides, with Motherwell forced to come out of their defensive shell.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 60 mins

    Hibernian 1-0 Motherwell

    Big chance for an equaliser. Devante Cole goes past Paul Hanlon like he's not there and has a pop at goal with a low shot. Matt Macey does well to narrow the angle and deflect it wide.

  19. CLOSE!published at 55 mins

    Hibernian 1-0 Motherwell

    It should be 2-0 and Christian Doidge should be celebrating again...

    Jackson Irvine rises impressively at the back post and nods the ball into the Hibs striker's path.

    From maybe three yards out, Doidge somehow scoops his shot over the top.
