St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren doing just enough to hang on at the SMISA Stadium as the Premiership season continued on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The hosts raced into a strong position and led 3-2 at half-time after a first 45 that had everything, both defences leaking goals but the home side finding the net that little bit more often when it mattered. Motherwell kept themselves in it throughout, never letting the gap stretch beyond one goal. The second half told a different story, tighter and more cagey, with neither side managing to find a way through again. It finished 3-3, a scoreline that will frustrate St Mirren more than it pleases them given the lead they built up. For Motherwell, there's plenty to take from the comeback effort, even if a point away from home doesn't fully make up for those early lapses at the back.

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.
