St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals and no shortage of drama at The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026, as St Mirren and Motherwell shared the points in a 3-3 thriller. The home side raced into a commanding position and led 3-2 at the break, having given their travelling support plenty to worry about with the pace at which the goals went in at both ends. Motherwell never stopped pushing though, and it was clear from early on this one wasn't going to be a quiet afternoon for either defence. The second half told a different story, with neither team able to find a way through again, and the game petered out into a share of the spoils. For St Mirren, there will be some frustration at not holding on to a two-goal cushion built up before the interval. Motherwell, on the other hand, can take real heart from the fight they showed to claw their way back into it. A point each in the end, but few in the away end will forget the mad five or six minutes either side of half-time.

St Mirren and Motherwell drew 3-3 at The SMISA Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way. It was an even contest for large parts of the afternoon, with neither team able to take control of the game for long. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
