It was a tough ask for Motherwell to go to Easter Road on the opening day of the season and get a win, and throwing in European action two nights prior in the Faroe Islands made the ask even tougher. But Alfred Johansson was confident in his side's ability, and when Lukas Fadinger opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first-half, the travelling Motherwell fans believed. Their belief was tainted when Martin Boyle levelled the game and the Hibees piled on the pressure for ten minutes, but the Steelmen stuck together and remained firmly in the contest. And when the decisive moment arrived with just minutes remaining, the Motherwell fans went mental in the away end, and Ibrahim Said peeled away in celebration as the Nigerian secured Motherwell's first win on the opening day for four years.
