St Mirren vs Motherwell

There was no shortage of goals at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026, as St Mirren and Motherwell shared a wild 3-3 draw in the Premiership. The home side raced into a commanding position, going 3-2 up by half-time after a first half that had everything, end-to-end stuff with defenders on both sides given a torrid time. Motherwell never stopped believing they could get something from the game, and their persistence paid off after the break. The second half calmed down just enough for Motherwell to find a leveller and salvage a point, denying St Mirren what looked at one stage like a routine victory. For the home crowd it will feel like two points lost after leading at the break, while Motherwell will take real satisfaction from the fight they showed to come from behind. Neither defence will look back on this one with much pride, but as a spectacle it delivered plenty for those who made the trip.

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.
