Well cannot afford to just defend lead - Murray

Motherwell cannot afford to sit back on their 2-0 lead in the second leg of their Conference League second qualifying round tie away to HB Torshevn, Joelle Murray has warned. The Hibernian women's head coach recognises it was "a very good performance" and "a good result" in the first leg at Fir Park. That is despite "probably a bit of fearfulness from supporters" given the loss of several of last season's top performers and the absence of top scorer Tawanda Maswanhise. "Very impressive result, but it's going to be difficult because, as has been reported all week, HB have created a fortress," Murray said on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast about the side who are unbeaten in eight home European ties since losing to Levadia Tallinn of Estonia 10 years ago. "So it certainly won't be easy, but they've given themselves a really, really good chance and given themselves a good foundation to go into this evening's game. "But that scoreline is probably the most difficult one in football, whether it's for you or certainly against you. "What Motherwell can't do is go into tonight's game and try to defend the 2-0 because it just encourages pressure, it just builds momentum for HB. "So I think they need to go over there and try and win the game. I don't think they can sit back, defend the two-goal lead and be complacent. "They've got the quality - Maswanhise is seemingly available after his fractured jaw, Longelo available, whether it be from the start or the bench."
