FULL-TIME Motherwell 2-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 26 August 2023
Incredible. It's all over! What a game of football that was.
In the epitome of a game of two halves, Kilmarnock dominated the first half and took a deserved lead into half-time after Marley Watkins' back-post header.
Harry Paton's introduction after the break changed the game. Dan Casey's leveller was just reward after direct attacking endeavour, and the Irish defender was caught in the box to give Well a penalty.
Callum Slattery stepped up but his low effort was well saved by Will Dennis and it looked like a point each would be the outcome.
Step up Paton. Blair Spittal pulled the ball back to the edge of the area, Paton dummied past two defenders and slotted for the latest of winners.
