5 December 2025 Football

A Tightly Contested Scottish Premiership Encounter

Motherwell extended their unbeaten run with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Falkirk on 3 December 2025 at the Falkirk Stadium. The match, which kicked off at 7:45pm, saw both teams maintain their positions in the Scottish Premiership top six despite failing to find the back of the net. The attendance reached 7,449, with fans witnessing an intense battle between two in-form sides.

Motherwell Dominate Chances But Cannot Find Breakthrough

The visitors came out strongly, particularly in the second half. Within moments of the restart, Maswanhise went through on goal after defender Liam Henderson failed to deal with a long ball, but despite taking a brilliant touch back inside, he could only fire straight down the throat of Bain. Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain was instrumental in keeping the scores level, producing several crucial saves throughout the evening. Chances came and went for both sides, with Motherwell arguably having the better openings, yet neither team could capitalise on their opportunities.

Impressive Defensive Records Continue

The draw continued a seven-game unbeaten run for Motherwell, making it a third successive clean sheet in the Premiership. This defensive solidity has been crucial to their impressive recent form. Jens Berthel Askou’s team have picked up 15 points from a possible 21 in the league and remain third in the league. Meanwhile, Falkirk also demonstrated their resilience, with the Bairns strong in nullifying Motherwell’s rapid possession-based style of play, which has brought them success in recent weeks.

Looking Ahead

With Livingston coming to Fir Park on Saturday, it could prove a valuable point come the end of the season for Motherwell. Both teams will take positives from the match – Motherwell from their continued unbeaten streak and clean sheet record, whilst Falkirk will be pleased with their defensive organisation against one of the division’s in-form sides. The result keeps both clubs firmly in contention for top-six finishes in what is proving to be a highly competitive Scottish Premiership season.
