Falkirk secured a 1-0 victory against Motherwell at Falkirk Stadium, continuing their dominance this season. The match took place on Tuesday, with Henry Cartwright scoring the decisive goal in the 63rd minute.
This win marks Falkirk’s third victory over Motherwell this season, allowing them to accumulate a total of 10 points from these encounters. Meanwhile, Motherwell missed a crucial opportunity to extend their six-point lead over Hibernian.
As of midday Tuesday, Falkirk has cut the gap on Hibernian to just two points. This outcome complicates Motherwell’s aspirations for European qualification.
Jens Berthel Askou, the manager of Motherwell, expressed frustration following the match. “Very, very difficult first half. At times for both teams, extremely open, transition on transition,” he stated.
In contrast, Falkirk manager John McGlynn praised his team’s performance. “I think we had the better chances. Barney (Stewart) on another day could have scored three or four himself. So we’re delighted to win,” he said.
Falkirk’s next match will be against Hibernian next Saturday. This game is crucial for their hopes of qualifying for Europe.
