The post-match thoughts of Alfred Johansson.

Full match replay from the 2nd round of the Premier Sports Cup

The Steelmen knew getting the tie back to Fir Park for the second leg on level terms was a boost, but also knew they still had a huge job to do to secure qualification for the playoff round of the UEFA Conference League. 8,150 Motherwell fans gathered at Fir Park for what was billed to be a huge opportunity to play last season's Europa League finalists SC Freiburg in the next round. Motherwell were well on top for the duration of the 90 minutes, with Ibrahim Said lifting the roof off Fir Park, as everyone has the chance to now make more memories in the next round of the competition.

Mikey Booth has been pleased with the minutes played so far this season, with the midfielder making his Premiership and professional debut in European football so far this season. The Academy Graduate has loved work under new manager Alfred Johansson and is excited for what's still to come this season.

Manager Alfred Johansson says the players must quickly shift their focus to Stenhousemuir on Sunday, and cites the difficult matches in the Premier Sports Cup last year that Motherwell played in as evidence for how tricky a match this will be. Johansson says the fast start and quick connection everyone at the club has made did take him by surprise, but believes there is even more still to come.

The Steelmen progress to the Conference League Play-Off round with a memorable 2-0 win over HJK Helsinki.

Alfred Johansson describes the type of player new signing Joe Hodge is, and what he will bring to the squad. The Motherwell manager also provides a squad update.  Johansson is relishing the opportunity to experience another European night at Fir Park, as the team look ahead to a huge night in ML1.

Martin Moormann explains his relationship with Lukas Fadinger, and how he has settled into Scottish Football. The Austrian tells us how the squad are only focused on tomorrow night, and are not looking ahead to any potential ties with anyone.
