HB
Motherwell
Motherwell traveled to the Faroe Islands with a two-goal cushion from the first leg already secured, and they proceeded to dismantle HB in authoritative fashion, winning 3-0 on the night for a stunning 5-0 aggregate triumph. The Steelmen were sharp from the outset, earning a penalty through Lukas Fadinger in the 25th minute that opened the scoring, before Regan Charles-Cook doubled the advantage just before the break to ensure the tie was emphatically over. D. Williams added a third shortly after the restart to underline Motherwell's total dominance across both legs. HB actually matched their opponents for dangerous attacks — 79 to 78 — and fired more shots overall with 15 to 13, but a lack of composure in front of goal was telling: only four on target to Motherwell's six. The Scottish side were also disciplined defensively, committing just four fouls to HB's 16, reflecting a composed and assured away performance that epitomises the kind of well-organised European campaign Motherwell supporters will hope signals a deeper run in the Conference League qualifying rounds.
