Aberdeen 3-1 St Mirren: Analysis

BBC Scotland's Andy Campbell

St Mirren, perhaps cognisant of how much space Aberdeen had found in their last win, were intent on absorbing pressure and hitting on the counter with Toyosi Olusanya, who scored a late leveller against Brann on Thursday.

He showed his perseverance with the equaliser as he got in between Slobodan Rubezic and Gavin Molloy to steal the ball and score on the rebound after Dimitar Mitov had saved the initial shot.

They could not rouse themselves in the same way after the break and tired as the game wore on.

The games keeping coming thick and fast for Stephen Robinson and his players. The second leg of their Conference League third qualifying round away to Brann takes place on Thursday, with the aggregate score 1-1. Dundee United away in the League Cup next Sunday continues their busy August programme.
