St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them coming before half-time from either side, and St Mirren just about held on to share the points at home to Motherwell on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The SMISA Stadium got its money's worth here. St Mirren tore into their visitors early and led 3-2 at the break, but Motherwell weren't finished and dragged themselves level in the second half to make it 3-3 by full time. For St Mirren, there'll be frustration at not seeing out a lead they built so quickly, though a point against a Motherwell side who kept fighting back is no disaster this early in the season. Motherwell, for their part, can take real encouragement from the way they responded after going behind twice before the interval. Neither defence will look back on this one with much pride, but as an advert for entertaining football in the Premiership, it did the job.

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.
