The game started brightly with Murray having a shot blocked, and then Main had a effort which just missed the target. St Mirren had chances as well and goals would happen in this game.
It was St Mirren who scored first when Olusanya got pat Portales to score with ease. Just five minutes later it was 1-1, Curtis Main nipped in after a mistake from Tayor to score with fine shot from acute angle.
But in a crazy period St Mirren scored again when Mandron scored from 30 yards on the half-volley. Main had another shot this time on the turn but it went wide of the post.
Second half and Dundee had to make a change when Billy Koumetio limped off after lengthy treatment. Ethan Ingram replaced him, taking up the right back slot while Jordan McGhee moved to centre back.
Dundee came close when Potales just headed wide of the post fro a Braybrook;s cross. The Dark Blues were now attacking with their familiar confident intensity and made it 2-2 after 54 minutes.
Scott Tiffoney pulled the defence out of position with a driving run through the middle. Lyall Cameron took over and played a beautiful pass into the path of Ziyad Larkeche, racing in from the left and the French full back took a touch before scoring his first goal for the Dee with a low shot from eight yards.
Just after the hour Josh Mulligan came on for Sammy Braybrooke who looked good with his passing and vision. Dundee pushed for the winner and went close a few times.
But the game ended 2-2, it was end to end stuff so good to watch.
