Match Report

TTA report

Smith (English internationalist of Millwall in his 2nd game) spun and shot past the surprised keeper (9). The forwards were seldom seen after that and the second half was almost constant Motherwell pressure. Henderson performed heroics in goal until a soft pen (handball by McGowan, 86). They had earlier been denied two more clear-cut claims.
