Match Report

TTA report

Slack defending by Kerr let Falkirk in to take the lead (3). Thistle survived a few scary moments then MacKenzie saw his penalty saved by the keeper (13) but he equalised (33) with an unsavable shot from 25 yards. Almost constant pressure saw Sharp hit the post but Falkirk grabbed the winner (76).
