Jens Berthel Askou faced Peterhead in his first home match in charge, with the League One side travelling to Fir Park looking to cause an upset. And they got off to the perfect start. Jack Brown raced through on goal before slotting past debutant Matty Connelly inside ten minutes. The new game model began to take shape and Motherwell controlled all of the ball and played the game in the Peterhead half. Emmanuel Longelo levelled the game, smashing into the top corner on his first start for the claret and amber. In the second-half, Peterhead dropped deeper and deeper, frustrating the hosts for large periods of the game. Just when it looked like the second goal wouldn't arrive, up popped Lukas Fadinger to get on the end of a special Callum Slattery cross in stoppage-time, to take the Steelmen onto five points in Group G.
