- On the road for the second time in four days, Motherwell went South this time around as they headed for Dumfries to face Queen of the South.
With a sell out travelling Motherwell crowd behind them, the Steelmen were looking to make it two wins out of two in the Viaplay Cup group stage.
In a game that everything, it was Queen's who struck first. Kieran McKechnie battered in a strike off the post from the edge of the box after 20 minutes.
Motherwell didn't let this setback effect them and immediately set off to find an equaliser. Jon Obika would go close but it would be Blair Spittal who drew the sides level, after he finished off Callum Slattery's cutback just before half time.
The game was turned on it's head when Slattery raced through on goal to give his side the lead.
Missed chances would prove costly for Motherwell. Having hit the post, crossbar and forcing the hosts' keeper into a number of saves, Gavin Reilly would convert at the back post from a cross on the counter attack.
An immediate response would see Motherwell back in front with 10 to go.
Craig Napier controversially pointed to the spot, adjudging Ricki Lamie to have fouled in the penalty area. Reilly made it two for the evening but the drama didn't stop there.
Napier again at the centre of attention, blew up play when Lamie went sliding into to block a cross off the pitch. Napier subsequently sent Lamie off for his second bookable offence, causing mass confusion at Palmerston.
A penalty shootout would decide who got the bonus point on the evening. The first eight penalties were converted before debutant Aston Oxborough made the first penalty save in the shootout. Stephen O'Donnell stepped up to confirm a bonus point for the 'Well, taking them to five points in the group.

Luv the camera angles thur cool
How did lamie get sent off but no pen or free kick awarded and secondly if we had van veen instead of obika he probably scores 5 albeit possibly 4 offside 😂
Bc he didnt have a clue what he was doing all game
Definitely I think we will get a new no 9 after we get our money from johnston
@@rossco07 it could be a long season need to move more on some are nowhere near good enough we need a striker asap
If we won on pens why do they say we drew?
Technically we got a bonus point for the pens. Both teams get a point for the draw.
Loads of chances which was good. Decent result to be fair considering the smell of dung down there is eye watering
😂
I am biased but how on earth was that a penalty for Queens. The ball was there to be played and the tackle made sure the defender got the ball. Baffling decision.
Probably the height of the foot 🤷🏼♂️
Nah. Definitely no pen. There's nothing dangerous in that tackle. The Queens lad throws himself into it. Fair challenge for the ball from both players. Odd decision from the ref, but you get them.
Aww boo hoo 😂
Wasn't a pen
@@clarkmfc1886 oh cry some more ref demed it a penalty and that's it
