St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren looked to have this one won. They raced into a 3-2 lead at half-time at The SMISA Stadium, taking the game to Motherwell with some sharp attacking play while the visitors kept themselves in it just enough to make things interesting. Neither defence had much of an answer in that first period, and fans inside the ground barely had time to sit down before the ball was back in the net at one end or the other. Motherwell came out for the second half needing a response and got themselves level, grabbing the goal that made it 3-3 and holding on for the share of the spoils. It finished 3-3, a result that will please the away side more given where they stood at the break. For St Mirren, there will be frustration at not seeing out a two-goal cushion, while Motherwell can take real heart from the fight they showed on the road.

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.
