UNCOVERED: Spfl boss backs side to do something in daunting european second leg - Caught on Camera

In a thrilling first-leg encounter at Fir Park last Thursday, Regan Charles-Cook fired the home side ahead in the second minute from Emmanuel Longelo’s cutback.

However, Matthias Ginter levelled for the visitors on 27 minutes and grabbed a second with a penalty, after Motherwell’s Martin Moormann was shown a straight red card on 65 minutes via a VAR review.

Substitute Keisuke Goto added a third for Freiburg with a stoppage-time header for a 3-1 win, leaving the Lanarkshire side with it all to do to turn the tie around in Germany.

Well boss Johansson said, “The only thing that I’m occupied with is that we’re going to go down there to do everything we can in a good performance.

“Of course, it’s not the best result to go down there with, let’s be honest about that. But we’re going to go down, and we’re going to fancy our chances to do something. I think we’ve done really, really well, the players have done so well.

“I think what we achieved during the first Freiburg game was that, OK, we showed everyone else, but especially ourselves, that we can actually perform at a high level. If you see the first goal, how we play in our way, it’s high, high level.

“We know that we can do things now. We know that we’re going to go down there, we’re going to try to play our way. We will show no fear and no respect. We’ll try to do our best knowing that it’s going to be a really tough game against a strong opponent.

“But we go there to try to compete again, and hopefully we can have a little bit more luck with cards and penalties, and that makes it even more even, right?”
