Here are the highlights on YouTube courtesy of HJK TV.

That was absolutely magnificent tonight. They started quite well in terms of possession, and we looked a bit nervous for 15 minutes, but gradually we took control and a very enjoyable evening ensued. We have replaced our outgoing players very sensibly so far, although another signing or two wouldn't go amiss and although there were a few slack passes and some dubious decisions from the ref, at no time did I feel worried that they would put us under any real pressure, This time last year all the short passes in the 18 yard box scared me Sh*tless but now it is just amusing to watch the opposition run sideways like headless chickens. Add in that AJ is an absolute pleasure to listen to, and I think this year could be even better than last year. What a great time to be a 'Well fan.

Utterly dominant from start to finish. One of the most memorable nights I've had at Fir Park. Enjoy the bragging rights tomorrow Well fans and be sure to get tore into those of the blue side of Glasgow. 😁

The gaffer today:

The man does great interviews:

Yes, and gracious thanks to them for that, but where are the Scottish TV highlights? It seems only The Uglies are worthy of notice by the cameras. At least Peter Martin on PLZ gave us a glowing report, so well done to him.

I was always confident there were plenty of ball playing central defenders out there to replace Welsh, but credit to the recruitment team to come up with one that is so good.

Dont want to get carried away, but..... That was magnificent. Certainly the best European performance Ive seen at Fir Park and as dominant a display as I think Ive seen in any game. Helsinki barely had a shot on goal all night and we could have easily scored 5 or 6. They could barely get the ball off us until we shut up shop and went 5 at the back. Is this how football is supposed to be? Great credit to the manager and the players for hitting the ground running. Im sure most of us had the fear that we had seen the last of performances like that when Jens and our 3 best players left in the summer. Its testament to them and the recruitment team that a seemless transition is well underway. Bravo Motherwell! 🧡❤️🧡

That was a European night to remember. The atmosphere was electric. It is great to see Fir Park rocking. No failures on the pitch for Motherwell. Star man for me tonight was Moorman, he was superb in that defence. Lowry looks to be fitting in nicely. Fadinger and Priestman were imperious in the midfield. Said is adding scoring to his game, which is great to see. Olly Whyte looks every bit a first team player. I'm sure that he'll get plenty of game time this season. A great time to be a Well fan. Who's off to Freiburg. See you there. COYW!

With the hint of a good old fashioned quick toe poke before the keeper could set

Suprised JT never got it...

I’m sure JBA will be watching from afar and feel so proud [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need to comment on the Referee. In the two European ties the referees have been streets ahead of the utter shite that passes for refereeing in Scotland. Let the game flow. Compare it to that fud who refereed the Falkirk game. Most Scottish games the chat after the game revolves around the referees incompetence. Two European ties and no such discussions.

Moorman is class and JGR was excellent as well. We are lucky to have them. went for Moorman but I feel bad that I’m cheating on Said

If someone can point me towards an all round better performance from a Motherwell team i will stand corrected...incredible performance all over the park. Exceptional

Excellent performance. Dare I say it, we were a level above HJK and well worth the win. And I think we still have levels of sharpness to go up. Said's goals were outrageous. Maradona-esque. Defensively we look very sound, Priestman and Fadinger were excellent. Looks like a strong core down the middle.

We've come on leaps and bounds as a club over the 2 years. The best football we've been treated to in living memory. That eradicated some of the previous underwhelming performances when the crowds were high etc. I've never seen us have control like this in European ties - very good first half and for 20 mins of the second half we were outstanding. Stand up and sing.🎶
