Morton Ends Losing Streak With Decisive Win Over Queen’s Park

Morton secured a much-needed 2-0 win against Queens Park in their latest cinch Championship encounter at Cappielow Park, marking a return to form after a challenging period. The match saw Morton's players stepping up to deliver a performance that ended their five-game losing streak across all competitions. This victory also halted Queens Park's five-game unbeaten run, adding significance to Morton's win.

The game kicked off with Morton showing intent right from the start. George Oakley, the Ton forward, missed an early opportunity to put his team ahead by heading over the crossbar. Despite this, the team continued to press, with Jack Bearne forcing Queens Park goalkeeper Calum Ferrie into action, pushing a shot around the post. On the other side, Queens Park had their moment when midfielder Jack Turner's long-range effort was saved by Morton's Ryan Mullen, keeping the game level as both teams looked for an opening.

Following a goalless first half where both teams had chances to take the lead, Morton came out with renewed vigour after the break. Kirk Broadfoot nearly broke the deadlock with a header from a corner that struck the crossbar. However, persistence paid off for Morton in the 68th minute when Alan Power's free-kick found Broadfoot, who made no mistake this time, heading the ball into the net to give his team the lead.

Morton didn't have to wait long to double their advantage. Just four minutes later, in the 72nd minute, Robbie Muirhead executed a low free-kick perfectly to extend Morton's lead and secure the victory. This second goal ensured that Morton not only ended their losing streak but also put a stop to Queens Park's unbeaten run.
