There were chances at both ends then Ayr scored twice (26 and 31). Thistle had been unlucky in front of goal but finally McLennan turned in a cross from Bain. Ayr then scored with a 20-yard free-kick (44). In the second half Miller scored from long range (47) but constant Thistle pressure was in vain.
