Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were lucky to be still in the game at half-time. Falkirk were far better and raced to a 2-goal lead (6 and 7) but it should have been at least 3-0 at half-time. Howitt hit the post (47) then he headed in a Wright cross (55). Thistle were denied a certain pen just before Smith headed in another Wright cross (87) for a point.
