St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before half-time at each end, and St Mirren just about held on for a share of the spoils at The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The hosts raced into a strong lead and looked to be cruising, only for Motherwell to claw their way back into it before the break, turning what should have been a comfortable afternoon into a real scrap. By half-time it was 3-2, and anyone expecting a quiet second half was in for a surprise as Motherwell kept pushing and eventually got their reward with an equaliser to make it 3-3. For St Mirren, there will be some frustration at letting a two-goal cushion slip, even if a point against a stubborn Motherwell side isn't the worst outcome on paper. Motherwell, for their part, will take real encouragement from the fight they showed after falling behind early doors. Neither side moves far in the table off the back of this one, but both will feel there was plenty to take from a lively, error-strewn Premiership afternoon.

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.
