Match Report

TTA report

After a goalless first half in which Henderson and Husband were if fine form, Falkirk took the lead (55) but Newall equalised for Thistle (62). Play was even after that and it could have gone either way until a powerful, unsavable 25-yard drive beat Henderson for Falkirk's winner 6 minutes from time.
