Dundee United dominated the match against Motherwell, securing a hard-fought victory with a solitary goal in the first half.

The home side started the game strongly and created several chances, but Motherwell's goalkeeper, Scott Brown, made some excellent saves to keep them at bay. However, Dundee United took control of the game in the second half and found their opportunity in the 45th minute when Callum Paterson scored from close range after a well-placed cross from Scott Robertson.

Motherwell were unable to respond to this goal and Dundee United held on for the win. The result was a significant blow for Motherwell, who had been in good form recently and looked set to secure a place in the top six.
