St Mirren vs Motherwell

A six-goal thriller at The SMISA Stadium ended 3-3, with St Mirren twice letting a lead slip against a Motherwell side that refused to lie down. The hosts led 3-2 at the break after a frantic first half that swung one way then the other, and it looked for a spell like they might hold on for all three points. Instead Motherwell came again after the interval and got themselves back on level terms, leaving both benches with mixed feelings at the final whistle. For St Mirren there will be some frustration at not seeing out a two-goal cushion built up before half-time, though there's plenty to take from an attacking display that caused Motherwell problems throughout. Motherwell, for their part, showed real character to fight back from behind twice and leave Paisley with a point they probably didn't see coming at the break. In a Premiership season where fine margins matter, this one will feel more like two points dropped than one gained for St Mirren, and a decent rescue act for the visitors.

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.
