Dundee had a good early chance when a good run and cross from Murray and Wighton headed wide of the goal. Dundee had a big let off when Motherwell hit the post Parrish was able to save the rebound effort on the line.
Parish done well again later as he pushed a long range drive from Main as The Steelmen looked dangerous on the break. But on 23 minutes Dundee took the lead Caulker headed back across goal and Generisic Kusanga bundled the ball over the line to give Dundee the lead.
However the lead lasted about 3 minutes as Motherwell levelled with a similar goal but Bowman headed home from close range.
At the start of the second half. Dundee were dealt another blow when Genseric Kusunga could not continue and was taken away in a stretcher. Darren O'Dea came on for the dark blues. Motherwell took the lead when Kipre headed home at the back post. Dundee kept coming forward and Leitch-Smith should have scored but his first touch let him down.
Dundee really pushed Motherwell back and should have scored on a few occasions and then as time was just about up Caulker headed down to O'Hara who somehow blasted the ball over from 7 feet out.
Not our best midfield display today but the players gave it their all. It was good to see Cammy Kerr having a great game. His forward runs were brilliant to watch.
