Results

Match story — three goals in 25 minutes either side of half-time

Motherwell won 3-0 at Tórsvøllur (attendance 1,050, referee Joonas Jaanovits) to go through 5-0 on aggregate, per the stat pack's leg note. Lukas Fadinger scored a penalty in the 25th minute, Regan Charles-Cook added the second in the 36th, and Dylan Williams the third in the 50th; Williams and Ibrahim Sa'Id are credited with an assist each. No cards were shown. With the tie settled, the changes came from the 58th minute: Emmanuel Longelo and Luca Ross for Charles-Cook and Willy Gabriel Vogt Veigantes, Tawanda Maswanhise and Olly Whyte for Mikey Booth and Fadinger in the 73rd, Ewan Wilson for Martin Moormann in the 80th. Both sides played 4-3-3 again.

What the numbers say — again, no box score

ESPN published no team statistics for this match, and there is no xG or market data for a European qualifier. The pack has the score, the scorers and the lineups.

Personnel and usage — Williams from left-back, Fadinger from the spot

Williams scored and assisted from left-back; Fadinger's goal was his second of the tie; Charles-Cook scored his first of the season. Sixteen players were used. The starting eleven was Alex Paulsen; Williams, Moormann, Jake Girdwood-Reich, Tom Sparrow; Fadinger, Oscar Priestman, Booth; Charles-Cook, Sa'Id, Vogt Veigantes. Minutes are estimated from substitution times.

Where this leaves the season — two from two, five scored, none conceded

Two competitive matches, both won, 5 goals for and 0 against, two clean sheets. The third qualifying round against HJK Helsinki followed on 6 August.

Limitations

No box score, no xG, a two-leg tie against a part-time-level opponent. Estimated minutes.

Takeaway

Motherwell finished the Faroese tie 5-0 on aggregate with three goals in 25 minutes of the second leg, a penalty from Fadinger and open-play goals from Charles-Cook and Williams. Two clean sheets and no bookings across the two legs is as tidy as a first European round gets, and the lack of a box score is the only reason there is no more to say.

Next iteration

HJK Helsinki away, first leg, on 6 August; the pack for that match has a partial box score only.
