St Mirren vs Motherwell

A frantic afternoon at The SMISA Stadium ended 3-3, with St Mirren twice having to be reeled back in by a Motherwell side that refused to go quietly. The hosts were rampant early on and led 3-2 at the break, having piled up goals at a rate that suggested they might run away with it. Motherwell had other ideas though, chipping in with two of their own before half-time to keep the scoreboard honest and set up a properly tense second half for the travelling support. That second period never delivered the extra goals the first half had promised, but it didn't need to. Motherwell dragged themselves level and held on, leaving with a point that will feel like something closer to a win given how the game had been going. For St Mirren, there's some frustration in seeing a two-goal cushion disappear, even if six goals and a share of the spoils made for decent value on a Sunday afternoon in the Premiership.

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.
