Match Report

TTA report

Much-changed Motherwell were superior and played some fine football. Some crude defending kept them at bay but they scored 12 and 57 to put them well ahead. A shot was saved by Renucci but was judged to have gone over the line (78). Kerr's goal (81) looked off-side. Renucci had some magnificent saves.
