Motherwell debutant Josh Law has fired a double to put the Steelmen in command at Fir Park.
BBC Scotland's Jim Spence in Switzerland
"Croft racing away down right but flag goes up for offside as Saints try to break..."
Nice work from Pawlett sees an opportunity come for Niall McGinn, but Padt - with mail bag swinging behind him in the Pittodrie breeze - is quickest off his mark, getting to the ball before the Northern Irishman and clearing for a corner.

"Seven minutes to go at the Swissporarena 1-1 FC Luzern v St Johnstone..."
'Well double their lead and it's the debutant at the deadly double! Josh Law is at his predatory best as he flicks the ball over the advancing Jonsson.
Quick Aberdeen break brings the first real chance, as Peter Pawlett goes on a great run into box and forces a save from goalie Padt. I trust it's not Postman Padt? Does he always deliver at cross balls? Is Jess cheering on from the dugout?
Honours still even, with Aberdeen feeling their way into this tie and looking to challenge debutant 'keeper Sergio Padt through Willo Flood and Adam Rooney.

Pittodrie is pulsing with a cracking crowd inside the stadium to enjoy this Europa League tie. Dons boss Derek McInnes sounded in top form ahead of this one.
BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller at Pittodrie
"Aberdeen have a decent chance [of going through] and there will be times when they're under pressure."
Here we go at Pittodrie and Fir Park...
BBC Sportsound commentator Liam McLeod
"It's a packed Pittodrie tonight!"
BBC Scotland's Richard Wilson at Fir Park
"Josh Law makes his competitive debut for Motherwell against Stjarnan, following in the footsteps of his brother Nicky.
"He will hope to not see at first-hand one of the crazy goal celebrations that brought the Icelandic club to the attention of the football world when they became popular on YouTube."
Tim Oliver tweets:, external "When you squint your eyes, it does look like FC Lucerne are sponsored by a toilet..."
St Johnstone are driving forward in numbers and captain Dave Mackay sees his header blocked following another impressive flowing move. The Scots are a goal to the good and are hungry for more...
