The Steelmen travelled to the Faroe Islands with a two-goal advantage from the first leg, but knew the tie wasn't over. With a place in the third qualifying round at stake, Alfred's Johansson's side wanted a stress-free night against European regulars Havnar Bóltfelag. Over 100 Motherwell fans made the trip, and witness a professional Motherwell display with Lukas Fadinger, Regan Charles-Cook and Dylan Williams all scoring. More goals could have been scored but securing the club's first win inside 90 minutes in an away European match for 16 years, the MFC squad have started the 26/27 season on the right foot.

Regan Charles-Cook explains the differences in the way the team plays this season in comparison to last year, but believes the closeness of the group is something that hasn't changed.  Looking ahead to the season that awaits, Charles-Cook details how important pre-season could be for the Grenadian as he looks to make a big impact.

Alfred Johansson is thrilled to have secured progression in the Conference League, but is only focused on the domestic action kicking off this weekend against Hibernian.  The Motherwell manager looks ahead to what he wants to achieve as a club this season, but insists on the pitch, it's all about Hibernian this weekend.

The manager gives his post-match thoughts.

Emmanuel Longelo explains his delight at being back involved on the pitch following his pre-season injury, and is looking to contribute to the team in the second leg of the Havnar Bóltfelag Conference League tie.  Longelo talks about his previous experience in European competition with West Ham, as well as explaining his willingness to play further up the pitch if needed.

Manager Alfred Johansson says his players will not be underestimating the task in front of them in the Faroe Islands on Thursday night, as Motherwell travel for the second leg of their UEFA Conference League tie against Havnar Bóltfelag. Johansson reveals the team news ahead of the second leg, with Tawanda Maswanhise included.

As Motherwell played their first competitive match of the season, over 7,700 arrived at Fir Park full of hope and nerves as the Steelmen looked to pick up their first win in UEFA competition since 2020.  Havnar Bóltfelag from the Faroe Islands were the opponents, with the two sides facing off for a second time following a UEFA Cup meeting in 1994. Alfred Johansson was experiencing his first competitive match in charge, and despite a number of players not involved due to injury, the 11 players selected pushed the opposition back into their own box during the early stages. Summer signing Martin Moormann blasted home inside 15 minutes to make a bang on his debut, before Lukas Fadinger scored an equally brilliant goal in the second period. The Steelmen now travel to the Faroe Islands with a two-goal advantage but know the tie is far from over.

Oscar Priestman is raring to go ahead of Motherwell's UEFA Conference League second qualifying round match against Havnar Bóltfelag. Priestman is looking to play more minutes this season having had limited game time due to the impressive displays from other players in his position last season.  Priestman says changes have been limited during pre-season in terms of style, which has made the transition simpler.
