Queen's Park - Partick Thistle

Scotland - Premiership, Relegation/Promotion, Quarterfinal

Queens Park suffered a dramatic 4-3 defeat in the 97th minute of their match on Tuesday, twice falling behind by two goals before staging a stunning comeback to equalize 3-3 in the 87th minute. Turner and McMillan scored for the hosts in the 15th and 28th minutes, respectively, with Thomas pulling one back for the Spiders in the 33rd minute. Fitzpatrick made it 3-1 for the hosts in the 69th minute, but Queens Park responded with two quick goals from Boateng in the 83rd minute and Thomas in the 87th minute to level the scores. However, Graham's goal in the 97th minute sealed the victory for Partick Thistle. Queens Park coach Owen Coyle acknowledged that his team needs to improve defensively, while the injury of Savouri, a contender for player of the year in the Championship, is a major setback. Henderson, McPake, and Biggar are all doubtful for the second leg.

Meanwhile, Partick Thistle manager Chris Doolan was thrilled with his team's character and unity in their hard-fought victory, with 35-year-old Brian Graham coming to the rescue in the 87th minute. Doolan also expressed his frustration with the referee, who failed to spot a clear foul on Turner before Queens Park's second goal. Defender Akinola is expected to remain sidelined for the Jags. The second leg promises to be an open affair with plenty of goals, as Queens Park must score again and it will be a challenge to keep a clean sheet against Partick Thistle's attack.
