Motherwell u20 v ICT u20

[tm4tj]

From Motherwell FC twitter.................

 

5 mins - Chris Hogg header cleared off the line but ref spotted foul

11 mins - great save from Stewart to turn a Polworth shot round the post after strong run from Sutherland

17 mins first effort from Well but Murray's header from Watt corner was easy for Regeuro,

23 mins - Polworth shot from 20 yards lands on the roof of the net as the game goes from end to end

28 mins 0-1 Polworth drives the spot kick to the right of Stewart who was left with no chance. Looked a pen

34 mins - Inverness have taken control of the game since the goal, keeping the ball well without creating anything so far.

36 mins - Penalty - GOAL 1-1 Erwin takes the kick himself and despite the keeper getting a touch the ball hits the net

41 mins - Ruguero punch to edge of box see Erwin's volley fizz just over the bar

42 mins - 1-2, Sutherland sees his first shot from 15 yards blocked by Devlin but the ball lands back at his feet and he smashes it in.

 

Half Time and it is 2-1 to Inverness in what has been a fairly even first half, Well not out of it by any means. Experience of Hogg, Polworth, Pepper and Sutherland is making a bit of a difference for the visitors.

 

51 mins - GOAL 2-2, Dale Shirkie's shot from the edge of the box somehow finds its way past Ruguero, good start to the half

It looks as though Ruguero was fooled by a "wicked" deflection for the equaliser

55 mins, game has picked up pace as both sides look for the winner, with corners at both ends failing to trouble the keepers - good stuff

61 mins - 2-3, Sutherland gathers a loose ball at the edge of the box and fires a fine shot into the top right hand corner

62 mins - second sub for ICT, on comes Kyle Whyte replacing Dachi Khutsishvili

63 mins - Ashgar hooks over from close range after ICT defence fail to deal with a corner

Couple of Leitch corners cause panic in ICT defence but somehow they scramble them clear - still 2-3, 25 mins to go

71 mins - Sutherland almost bags his hat trick but his angled drive slides just wide of the post

75 mins - Pen shout as Leitch goes down in the box, nothing given, would've been of soft variety if it had been

79 mins - final change from ICT,on comes Calum Ferguson for Jordon Gibbons.

One of highlights this afternoon has been the grasp of Industrial English from ICT's Spanish keeper! First words you learn in any country

82 mins - Sutherland desperate to bag a hat trick, but this time his shot his miles wide from edge of the box

ICT will play the last five minutes with ten men as centre back Danny Devine limps off with all three sub already on

86 mins - Thomas drags a shot wide from the edge of the box, time running out for another equaliser

87 mins - stunning strike from McCafferty crashes of the bar with Reguero beaten, unlucky not to be on level terms with that one

We are now heading into stoppage time, no 4th official but I would guess there will be about 3 mins added on

 

Full time 3-2 win for Inverness in what was a reasonably entertaining 90 minutes, Well goals from Erwin (pen) and Shirkie

Delighted to read that Hogg's playing again!

[tm4tj]

Aye, it's great news indeed, hope he comes through it OK.

 

oops, spoke too soon.........................hope it's just a fitness thing

 

Teams coming back out at Fir Park with ICT appearing first, and about to bring on Andrew Skinner for Chris Hogg

[lukemackay]

Great to hear he got 45 minutes 60minutes may have been to much given he's been out for 18 months.

[tm4tj]

Full time 2-3, all details in first post, thanks to Well for the tweets

 

Well done lads

Thanks for finding that 'feed' and for posting it, tm4tj. Great work. Good score for us that, although I concede that the U20's games aren't really about results - more playing time and rehab for returning players like Hogg.

Amusing that the guy tweeting mentioned Polworth and Pepper as 'experienced'! They're both just 18!!!!

2 goals from Sutherland as well.  See, he can score.  He's going to be a real asset when he finds his scoring boots at first team level.

Just hope Danny Devine injury not serious.

Great to see Hogg back. Does anyone know when his contract expires because it will be intresting to see what TB will do if it expires in the summer.

Good to hear that Hogg is back in action after a lengthy period out. Looking forward to his first team appearance now! He's had a lot to over come.
