Dundee got off to a great start when Paul McMullen took control of the ball and cut inside to curl home to the delight of the Dundee fans. It really settled the side and they looked really up for the fight. It made Motherwell come out a bit and Dundee used this to hit on the break.
The home side were level on 12 minutes when good play set up Elford who scored with ease, soon after Dundee were looking good and had efforts on goal which on another day they would go in.
The defence looked a lot better and Harrison Sharp done really well in goal. It was 1-1 at half-time.
Second half and Motherwell put Dundee under pressure but they coped okay, soon after Dundee made two changes as Vontae Daley-Campbell was replaced by Jay Chapman who moved into the central midfield. Anderson went to the left and McMullan switched to the right wing.
The change almost paid immediate dividends. McMullan raced past Ojala and from the cross Declan McDaid hooked his shot past the angle of post and bar. A minute later McDaid had another go. His shot deflected off Jordan McGhee but Kelly was able to readjust and save.
In the last 15 minutes Motherwell went for a winner but Dundee battled well , defended well and seen out the time for a vital point.
