All to play for // HJK Helsinki 1-1 Motherwell

8th August 2026

It was more UEFA Conference League action for Motherwell, who travelled to HJK Helsinki with a depleted squad due to injuries. But despite the low numbers, the MFC squad went into the first leg with 600 sold-out away-end fans behind them. The first half saw HJK have the majority of the chances, but having grown into the game, Motherwell came out all guns blazing in the second-half, striking the woodwork twice. Eventually, a penalty would be awarded, which Tawanda Maswanhise dispatched, sending the away end into rapture. Teemu Pukki equalised for the hosts, who now have to travel to Scotland in the second leg in what could be a very special night at Fir Park.
