Match Report

TTA report

Falkirk went ahead when a shot bounced over diving Niven's head into the net but 2 goals in 3 minutes put much-changed Thistle ahead. Cunningham scored from close in and Hainey latched on to a Cunningham through pass but Falkirk got going in the second half and got a deserved equaliser (70).
