Match Report

TTA report

Ability to take chances made the difference between 2 otherwise evenly matched teams. Wallace put Thistle 2-up (5 and 23) then Johnstone saved a pen. McKennan beat 3 men and made it 3-0 just on half-time. Motherwell fired another pen a foot wide and Wallace got his 3rd (68) before Motherwell's 2 late goals prevented a slightly flattering scoreline.
