St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals and precious little defending 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 control and led 3-2 at the break, having done most of the attacking damage in a first half that had everything. Motherwell were far from finished though, and dragged themselves level after the interval to leave with a share of the spoils. For St Mirren, there will be frustration at not holding on given the lead they built before half-time. A three-goal cushion at one stage should have been enough to see the game out, but Motherwell's response showed real character. Both sides will take something from this one - St Mirren for their attacking threat, Motherwell for the fight they showed to salvage a point in a game that could easily have got away from them.

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.
