In control but still needing more // Stenhousemuir 0-1 Motherwell
In Motherwell's third match of the Premier Sports Cup group-stage, they were back on the road, this time to Stenhousemuir.
As the torrential rain fell, over 1000 Motherwell fans gathered in stands as Motherwell started the game on the front foot. With a number of big opportunities not taken, it was just before half-time when the Steelmen got their deserved lead through Stephen O'Donnell.
The second-half followed a similar narrative. Creating plenty opportunities, that killer instinct to put the game beyond Stenhousemuir's reach was lacking. Never in danger of conceding, the game fizzled out and the win meant Motherwell are now one win away from qualifying top of the group.
