On Tuesday in the Scottish Premier League, one postponed match took place, in which the "Aberdeen" club, currently in third place, defeated "Motherwell" away and reduced the gap from "Rangers" to 4 points, while increasing the distance from "Hearts" to 6 points.
0 - 2
32’ [0 - 1] Marc Fitzpatrick (own goal)
90’ [0 - 2] Richard Foster
In the boring first half, "Aberdeen" took the lead in the second half when the home defender Marc Fitzpatrick unexpectedly directed the ball into his own net. Shortly after, Jamie Smith almost doubled the lead with a header, but his attempt was well saved by the namesake "Motherwell" goalkeeper Graeme Smith.
After the break, the hosts became more active and started attacking more. Especially active was the forward Scott McDonald, whose shot from a few meters away was blocked at the last moment by defender Russell Anderson, and later a very dangerous attempt was expertly neutralized by goalkeeper Jamie Langfield. After a pass from S. McDonald, Hungarian defender Krisztian Vadocz hit the crossbar.
Finally, after repelling "Motherwell" attacks, "Aberdeen" secured the victory - in injury time, Richard Foster scored with a great long-range shot.
After the victory, "Aberdeen" reduced the gap from "Rangers" to 4 points and restored the intrigue in the battle for the second spot in the Champions League, as both teams will meet in Glasgow over the weekend.
