Stephen O'Donnell's fortuitous first-half goal earned Motherwell victory
Motherwell moved a step closer to Premier Sports Cup progression as a narrow win at third-tier Stenhousemuir extended manager Jens Berthel Askou's unbeaten start.
Stephen O'Donnell's fortuitous first-half effort, diverted in at the back post from a corner, proved to be enough to secure victory at Ochilview.
The Fir Park side lacked cutting edge against the League 1 club, but a welcome clean sheet for Askou ensured his team moved up to top spot in Group G.
Well are two points clear of second-placed Greenock Morton, who have played a game fewer, while Stenhousemuir remain bottom with no points from two fixtures.
A win for Askou's side over second-tier Greenock Morton on Tuesday would secure top spot in the section.
