St Mirren Snatches Draw with Late Header Against Aberdeen

Richard King's dramatic 99th-minute header secured St Mirren an unexpected point in a thrilling six-goal encounter against Aberdeen.

After a lackluster first half that ended goalless, the match ignited when Marcus Fraser converted a penalty for the visitors just 10 minutes after the break.

Aberdeen quickly responded, with Dante Polvara and Marko Lazetic scoring two goals within three minutes, putting them ahead 2-1. However, Jonah Ayunga equalized for St Mirren after capitalizing on a mistake by Jack Milne.

Lazetic then restored Aberdeen's lead by converting a cross from Stuart Armstrong, seemingly securing the victory for Jimmy Thelin's side.

In a dramatic turn of events, King found the net with a header from a cross by fellow substitute Conor McMenamin deep into stoppage time, leveling the score once more.

Aberdeen remains unbeaten in their last five league matches and sits seventh in the standings, three points behind Falkirk in sixth place. Meanwhile, St Mirren continues to search for their first league win since September, remaining in 11th position.
