Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren somehow only came away with a point after leading twice at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday. The hosts raced into it, looked to have Motherwell rattled, and went in front more than once in a first half that finished 3-2. Motherwell kept finding answers though, never letting the gap stretch beyond one goal, and their persistence set up a nervy second half for the home crowd to sit through. That nervy feeling proved justified. Motherwell dragged themselves level again after the interval, and this time St Mirren couldn't find a way back in front. The game ended 3-3, a result that will frustrate St Mirren more given they led at half time, while Motherwell will take real encouragement from digging out a point on the road. Neither side moves much in the table off the back of it, but both will feel there was something more to be had here.
The Matchup
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.
