Match Report

TTA report

Lambie and Simpson were injured early on and limped on the wings but Ness opened the scoring (25) looking off-side. Slack defending let Torbet in for 2-0 but Falkirk scored following a free-kick soon after. The second half saw Thistle defending desperately until, on the counter, Torbet scored late on. Falkirk were the better team but their forwards were wasteful.
