St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren looked to have this one wrapped up early at the SMISA Stadium. They raced into a strong lead against a Motherwell side who simply couldn't get near them in the opening exchanges, and it was 3-2 at half-time after the visitors clawed their way back into it with two goals of their own. That first half alone was worth the admission money, end to end stuff with defending that both sides will want to forget. Motherwell came out for the second half needing something and got it, pulling level to make it 3-3 and denying St Mirren what had looked like a comfortable afternoon. Neither side found a winner after the break, and honestly, after that first-half chaos, a draw felt like a fair outcome. For St Mirren it's a couple of points lost after leading twice, while Motherwell will take real heart from the fightback on the road.
