With one game before the first international break of the season, Motherwell were still on the hunt for their first win of the Premiership season. Jens Berthel Askou's men were still undefeated going into the match against Kilmarnock but were keen to go one step further and secure the first three points. The start was far from ideal, however, with Kilmarnock opening the scoring at Fir Park. The squad rallied, however, and just on the cusp of half time, Tawanda Maswanhise netted a leveller, the Zimbabwean's second goal in as many matches. Fir Park was re-energised at the start of the second-half, and the Steelmen went on the hunt for the second goal. And it arrived through Emmanuel Longelo, who volleyed into the bottom corner for his third league goal in four matches. The good work would come undone, however, in the closing stages, when Kilmarnock scored a second from close range with very little time remaining. In the end, there was nothing to separate the two sides on the scoreline. But on the pitch, it was Motherwell who left more disappointed, but the mood in ML1 remains positive, with a trip to Dundee up next.
