Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

The key moments of the match were defined by the goals scored by both teams. Aberdeen took the lead in the 61st minute when Jesper Karlsson found the back of the net, assisted by Graeme Shinnie. This goal was a highlight for Aberdeen, showing their ability to capitalise on their opportunities.

However, Motherwell quickly responded three minutes later with Elijah Just’s equaliser, assisted by Callum Slattery, demonstrating their resilience and ability to bounce back. These goals were the turning points of the game, with both teams unable to find a winner despite late substitutions and efforts.

Aberdeen lined up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Dimitar Mitov in goal and a back three of Nicky Devlin, Jack Milne, and Mats Knoester. The midfield was anchored by Dylan Lobban and Dante Polvara, with Graeme Shinnie and Emmanuel Gyamfi providing width. Up front, Stuart Armstrong, Marko Lazetić, and Jesper Karlsson led the attack. This formation allowed Aberdeen to be compact defensively but also to push forward when opportunities arose, as evidenced by their goal.

Motherwell opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Calum Ward between the posts and a back four of John Koutroumbis, Paul McGinn, Stephen Welsh, and Emmanuel Longelo. The midfield duo of Elliot Watt and Lukas Fadinger provided stability, while Tawanda Maswanhise, Callum Slattery, and Elijah Just supported the lone striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos. This setup enabled Motherwell to control possession and create chances, which was reflected in their equalising goal.

Elijah Just of Motherwell earns the title of Man of the Match for his crucial equalising goal in the 64th minute. His ability to find the back of the net when his team needed it most was pivotal in securing a point away from home. Just’s performance was a testament to his composure and finishing ability, making him a standout player in this tightly contested match.
