Match Report

TTA report

A home fixture at last! Renucci prevented a Falkirk opener with a smart save (2) but gradually Thistle took control and when Mallon and Mathers had shots blocked, Ewing scored with the loose ball (23). In the second half Falkirk were livelier but goals from Brown (72) and Mallon (90) secured the deserved win.
