Visitors win 3-2 on penalties after Scottish Cup last-16 tie finished 4-4
St Mirren led 4-1 at half-time
But Watt, Aarons & Campbell hauled Motherwell level
St Mirren will play Kilmarnock or Aberdeen in quarter-finals
Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
It's end-to-end stuff at the moment. Jonathan Obika threatens at one end, winning a corner, but Well sprint clear and Tony Watt has a shot deflected wide.
From the corner, Ross Maciver fires past the post. Better from the home side.

Quote MessageMotherwell are looking to break, but as soon as they do, St Mirren get back in numbers. They're crowding out Rolando Aarons, who they know wants to dribble and create chances. They're giving him no option to go forward. It's credit to St Mirren
Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson appears to be going for it, with Richard Tait replacing the unfortunate Peter Hartley, who contributed a first-half own goal, at the break as the home side switch to three at the back.

Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
Motherwell get the second 45 minutes under way, but it is a long way back for the home side.
For now, it seems certain that St Mirren will be hosting the winner of tomorrow night's replay between Aberdeen and Kilmarnock in the quarter-finals.
HT: Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren

Quote MessageMotherwell have to go for it. They just have to. It's a cup tie. It doesn't matter if they lose by five, six or seven. They can't sit back and wait
HT: Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
Motherwell have been charitable on and off the park it seems...

Quote MessageThe Motherwell supports around us are furious and rightly so, because that's as poor as I have seen Motherwell in a long, long time. Not just defensively. They have offered virtually nothing from as an attacking force
HT: Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
St Mirren have scored 21 goals in 26 Premiership games this season - four fewer than anyone else in the Scottish top flight.
But you wouldn't guess that if you were a stranger transported to Fir Park tonight.
Storm Dennis has been replaced with Hurricane Obika, the two-goal striker who has been helped blow a hole through the middle of the home defence.

Quote MessageSt Mirren have looked like they are going to score with every attack. It makes you wonder where has this attacking prowess been hiding? Because St Mirren have lacked goals all season
Who would have predicted that half-time scoreline?
Yes, Motherwell have not won at home in four games, but St Mirren have not won away in four either.
Jonathan Obika and Alex Jakubiak have tormented a home defence who are obviously missing the presence of ill Scotland centre-half Declan Gallagher and several injured strikers along with James Scott, who was sold to Hull City.
Obika's opening goal was cancelled out by Liam Polworth, but the big Englishman restored the advantage, helped set up the third, put in his own net by Peter Hartley, before Sam Foley fired a fourth that has left the home team and support stunned.

Quote MessageAnother slack goal from Motherwell. They do not clear their lines. Foley makes a decent run in to the box but is just gifted possession. The defending has just been so abject
Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
Bevis Mugabi has been unable to cope with the physicality of Jonathan Obika and the Uganda defender trots off to be replaced with Mark O'Hara.
The introduction of the on-loan Peterborough midfielder will require a switch in formation for Stephen Robinson's side.

Quote MessageIt's another poor one for Motherwell to lose. Mugabi has gone down after a clash with Obika. The rest of the team don't really respond to it. It comes to Durmus and again he puts a good ball in. Motherwell are just so passive and it has been such a poor performance
Sam Foley
It is four now! Jonathan Obika again overpowers Bevis Mugabi and, when the ball reaches Sam Foley, the Irish midfielder fires home from just inside the penalty box.
Motherwell are fourth in the Premiership and St Mirren third bottom, but you can't see the home side coming back from this.
Motherwell 1-3 St Mirren
Almost four for St Mirren as Alex Jakubiak this time causes all sorts of problems with a fine move and cross.
It looks like Cameron MacPherson is going to score, but goalkeeper Mark Gillespie pulls off an excellent stop to effectively keep Well in the tie.
Motherwell 1-3 St Mirren

Quote MessageAgain, defensively, you have to ask where are Motherwell? St Mirren counter attack fabulously. You can hear the home supporters around about us are absolutely livid. And rightly so. That's two very avoidable goals
Peter Hartley (own goal)
Jonathan Obika is a man inspired and he sets up a third goal a matter of seconds after scoring his own second.
Sam Foley should score, but when his effort is saved by goalkeeper Mark Gillespie, it bounces off defender Peter Hartley and into his own net.
The goal is greeted by a chorus of boos from the home support.
Jonathan Obika
Jonathan Obika fires a superb, powerful second goal. The Englishman is having a superb game.
Motherwell 1-1 St Mirren
Jake Carroll picks up a booking as he fouls Jonathan Obika as the big striker looks to start a dangerous move on the break.
