Crofty Goes Solo: Freiburg Reaction

Peter's away enjoying life on a cruise, so Crofty goes solo to look back on Motherwell's 3-1 defeat to SC Freiburg at Fir Park.

From the dream start through Cook's early goal to the controversial penalty decision, Crofty gives his thoughts on the referee, VAR, Freiburg's relentless pressing, and why Motherwell perhaps showed their opponents a little too much respect.

There's praise for Alex Paulsen's outstanding performance, a look at the positives of facing top-class opposition, and some optimism ahead of the trip to Germany for the second leg.

Despite the result, there were plenty of reasons to be proud of the team and the supporters on a memorable European night.
