Motherwell•AttackerMotherwell secured a comfortable 2-0 victory at Livingston thanks to Tawanda Maswanhise's first-half double, effectively settling the contest before the interval. The Zimbabwean winger struck early in the 5th minute to set the tone, then doubled his tally midway through the first half to put the visitors firmly in control. Livingston's attempts to respond in the second half were stifled by resolute defending from Motherwell, who managed the game professionally after establishing their two-goal cushion. This result represents a crucial three points for Motherwell in their Premiership campaign, while Livingston will be disappointed to have been outplayed so comprehensively on home soil.
