Ibrahim Said is a great player to watch, isn't he?
He bounces off people, pops it through their legs, he'll chop past them and he links play.
If he keeps these levels up, he becomes a star and the manager has to play him.

Alex Paulsen made a couple of good saves in that second half and Martin Moormann popped up in the right place to make two goal-line clearances.

Hibs were the better team in the second half, but then Motherwell get the goal on the counter-attack.
Hibs will be so disappointed in how they lose the second goal. Motherwell took their chances and defended really well. It was a gritty display.
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Motherwell
More boos from the frustrated home fans.
If you go back to last season, that's four home defeats in a row for Hibs, two of them to Motherwell.
Motherwell do a number on Hibs at Easter Road, stealing the points with a slick late goal from Ibrahim Said.
It was almost all Hibs in the second half, with a Martin Boyle penalty cancelling out an earlier spot-kick from Lukas Fadinger.

Some terrific one-touch football from Motherwell puts the visitors in front for a second time. Hibs boss David Gray punching his seat in the dugout in frustration.
Ibrahim Said
Sucker punch.
Motherwell have looked down and out in the second half but they conjure up a lovely move to punish the hosts.
Alex Lowry to Dylan Williams to Ibrahim Said, all first time touches, and the ball is in the back of the net.

Martin Moormann with his second goal-line clearance of the day, this time heading away a shot from Nathan Lowe after Alex Paulsen fumbles a cross.

Hibernian have won three of the last four occasions they have faced Motherwell on MD1 of a league season (L1), including both of the last two: 3-0 in 2018-19, and 3-2 in 2021-22.
Motherwell won away to Hibernian 1-0 on the final day of last season. The Steelmen are therefore looking to successive away league wins over Hibs for the first time since August 2013 – when the second win was on MD1.
Hibernian have won their opening game in seven of the last nine Scottish Premiership seasons (L2), although have lost on MD1 in two of the last three.
Motherwell have only won their league opener in one of the last nine seasons (D4 L4), beating St. Mirren 1-0 in 2022-23.
This will be Alfred Johansson’s first league game in charge of Motherwell. Just two of the Steelmen’s last seven managers (incl. caretakers) have won their first league match (D2 L3), Steven Hammell beating St. Mirren 1-0 in July 2022 and Stuart Kettlewell beating the same side 2-1 in February 2023.
