Motherwell knew a win would see them finish top of Group G in the Viaplay Cup, however they also knew they needed to win, at least, by two goals to have a chance of being seeded for the next round.
League Two East Fife were the visitors to Fir Park, also aiming for a place in the next round.
The Steelmen started the stronger, with Blair Spittal going close to opening the scoring.
Lennon Miller slotted home his second of the season, just after the half an hour mark, with Conor Wilkinson scoring his first for the club minutes later.
East Fife's task was made more difficult when Jonathan Page seen red for a clear stamp on Spittal right before half time.
Callum Slattery netted a third in the second half and with Ross County getting beat on penalties by Kelty Hearts, Motherwell got the third and final seeded spot in the last 16 draw to end the group stage section in the best possible fashion.
