Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren in the Premiership on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren Post-Match Review
St. Mirren took the lead in the 27th minute when M. Mandron found the net, giving the visitors a deserved edge after dominating early possession. But Dundee hit back almost immediately with an own goal in the 29th minute to level things up, before D. Wright put them ahead in the 39th minute with a well-taken strike assisted by T. Yogane. The first half saw St. Mirren pick up a yellow card for Mandron in the 35th minute, and they made an early change with S. Tanser coming on for D. John at 32’.
The second half was more cagey, with St. Mirren pushing hard but unable to break through despite their possession advantage. Dundee made a series of substitutions, including I. Samuels replacing T. Yogane at 70’, A. Hay coming on for S. Murray at 78’, C. Jones replacing C. Congreve at 79’, and P. Digby replacing Y. Dhanda at 86’. St. Mirren also rang the changes with R. Idowu for C. McMenamin and J. Ayunga for M. Mandron both at 65’, plus M. Dijksteel replacing J. Richardson at 75’, but it was Dundee who sealed the win with J. Westley’s goal in the 87th minute, while St. Mirren’s K. Phillips saw yellow at 85’.
Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren Statistics
Dundee managed just 37% possession compared to St. Mirren’s 63%, which showed how the visitors controlled the ball for long spells, yet they couldn’t convert that into enough clear chances, ending up with a lopsided 1-11 corner count in their favour but only one goal to show for it. Successful dribbles heavily favoured St. Mirren at 89 to Dundee’s 30, highlighting their attacking intent, but Dundee’s two assists compared to none for the away side underlined their efficiency in front of goal, turning limited opportunities into a 3-1 victory without any yellow cards of their own against St. Mirren’s two.
Both teams used all four substitutions, with Dundee’s changes late in the game helping them maintain energy—such as I. Samuels coming on for T. Yogane at 70’ and P. Digby replacing Y. Dhanda at 86’—while St. Mirren’s earlier swaps like S. Tanser for D. John at 32’ and the double change at 65’ aimed to freshen things up but couldn’t shift the momentum. There were no red cards, penalties, or injury-time goals, keeping the match straightforward, though St. Mirren’s yellows for Mandron at 35’ and Phillips at 85’ added some tension without derailing their efforts.
Key Moments from Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren
The game turned on a frantic couple of minutes in the first half, starting with M. Mandron’s opener for St. Mirren at 27’, only for Dundee to equalise through an own goal just two minutes later at 29’, shifting the momentum back their way. D. Wright’s goal at 39’, set up by T. Yogane, proved decisive in giving Dundee the halftime lead, and late on J. Westley’s strike at 87’ put the result beyond doubt despite St. Mirren’s pressure.
Substitutions played a role too, with St. Mirren forced into an early change at 32’ when S. Tanser replaced D. John, and their double switch at 65’ bringing on R. Idowu for C. McMenamin and J. Ayunga for M. Mandron aimed to spark a comeback. Yellow cards for Mandron at 35’ and Phillips at 85’ disrupted St. Mirren’s rhythm slightly, but Dundee’s late subs, like I. Samuels for T. Yogane at 70’ and P. Digby for Y. Dhanda at 86’, helped them see out the win.
