St Mirren vs Motherwell

A wild afternoon at the SMISA Stadium ended 3-3 as St Mirren let a two-goal cushion slip against a Motherwell side that refused to lie down. The hosts raced into it, looking sharp and full of purpose, and led 3-2 at the break after a chaotic first 45 minutes that had goals flying in at both ends. Motherwell's response before half-time showed they weren't there to make up the numbers, and it set up a nervy second period for the home crowd. That nerve was justified. Motherwell came out fighting again and got their reward, pulling level to make it 3-3 and deny St Mirren what had looked at one stage like a comfortable win. Neither side could find a winner after that, and honestly, on the balance of a game with six goals shared almost evenly, a draw felt fair. For St Mirren it's two points dropped from a winning position; for Motherwell, a battling point that shows there's plenty of fight in this squad.

St Mirren and Motherwell drew 3-3 at The SMISA Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way.

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.
