It took Motherwell 49 minutes for the hosts to register their first shot on target, one of only two they mustered in the match.

Hibs remained the stronger side and they claimed most of the high and loose balls and Motherwell remained out of sorts. With ten minutes remaining a long ball from the Hibs midfield appeared to be under the control of the home defenders but Dwight Gale managed to set up Josh Campbell to seal the win.
