Match Report

TTA report

Motherwell were the better team in the first half and Smith's equaliser just before half-time was unexpected. Thistle's half backs dominated in the second half and Kerr (58) then Ewing (65) put them ahead. A quick free-kick caught Thistle out (68) but McParland (72) and Smith late on wrapped it up. Thistle were “coarse” (MT).
