    Excellent build-up play from Motherwell. The less said about the finishing touch, the better.

    Blair Spittal clears the Davie Cooper stand with it.

    HT: Motherwell 1-0 Queen's Park

    Michael Stewart
    Former Scotland midfielder on Viaplay

    Jon Obika had a sitter, that was the first real moment of note in the first half. It was more difficult to miss.

    He'll be delighted with the goal he scored because of that, even if it took a deflection.

    The Championship visitors will be disappointed to be behind, they've played well at Fir Park.

    But they haven't been clinical enough against their top-flight hosts, who have the lead through Jon Obika's deflected strike.

    Motherwell 1-0 Queen's Park

    What a strike.

    Slack play from Queen's again allows Jon Obika to slip in Callum Slattery, who leathers a strike from the edge off the bar.

    Nice play down the Motherwell right results in Paul McGinn crossing to the back post.

    Pape Souare is there but he can't direct his header on target.

    Lennon Miller looks to slip Stephen O'Donnell in behind but it's just short.

    Moments later, Callum Slattery overhits a Motherwell cross.

    Motherwell's Pape Soare and Louis Longridge of Queen's are down receiving treatment after a nasty collision.

    Soare is gingerly back to his feet and Longridge eventually follows suit.

    Queen's Park will have lost heart after playing so well and dictating play then falling behind. As young players they have to deal with the setback and clear their minds

    Almost an instant equaliser for the Championship side.

    Dom Thomas' deflected effort from the right-hand channel is superbly clawed away by Motherwell keeper Liam Kelly.

    The rebound is begging to be put away, but Barry Hebpurn gets it all wrong and the ball sails over the bar.

    GOAL Motherwell 1-0 Queen's Parkpublished at 17:46 British Summer Time 22 July 2023

    Jon Obika

    The striker makes amends!

    Obika tries his luck from around 20 yards and a wicked deflection deceives Queen's keeper Calum Ferrie.

    Dreadful miss by Jon Obika!

    A superb Motherwell breakaway leads to Paul McGinn sending over a cross from the right.

    The goal is gaping for Obika, but his diving header drifts just wide. He really has to be scoring that.

    Precious little goalmouth action so far, but Motherwell have a sniff of a chance when Charlie Fox plays a loose ball at the back.

    The Queen's defender redeems himself by denying Callum Slattery just as the midfielder cuts into the box and prepares to let fly.

    Callum Slattery, Lennon Miller and Blair Spittal have barely had a touch of the ball in Motherwell's midfield.

    Queen's Park win three corners in succession but can't create anything clear cut with them.

    The Championship side look the better team so far.

    Queen's Park are certainly pleasing on the eye.

    The away side are playing some nice stuff out from the back, but Motherwell almost catch them out.

    The hosts are looking to apply pressure.
