After the restart, Elliot Watt doubled the lead (57.) with a right-footed strike from outside the box into the top right corner, set up by Maswanhise.

Shamal George kept St Mirren in it before the interval, twice denying Callum Slattery from promising positions. Liam Gordon was alert at the other end, saving Miguel Freckleton's header just before half time.

Motherwell registered 15 attempts with eight on target, reflecting their control in key moments. St Mirren mustered nine attempts and hit the target twice.

Next, Motherwell visit Hibernian. St Mirren travel to Livingston.
