Match Report

TTA report

Port hit the bar in the 1st minute but it was Thistle who opened the scoring on the half-hour mark and the defence kept the home forwards at bay. In the second half a good move from midfield led to the equaliser. Goals were traded until Port got a 4th almost on full time. They always had that bit more to offer. Good game.
