Fifa president Gianni Infantino made a surprise visit to the SMISA stadium on Saturday where he watched St Mirren beat Aberdeen – in dramatic style. <\/p>\n

The Italian is in Scotland to attend an International Football Association Board (Ifab) meeting in Loch Lomond. Ifab is the body responsible for rule changes.<\/p>\n

Infantino watched the Saints come from one goal behind to score two goals at the end of the match.<\/p>\n

In the 6th minute of added time, St Mirren was awarded a penalty and Mark O’Hara stepped up to take the penalty, scored and sent the home fans wild with delight.<\/p>\n

Aberdeen restarted the game and pushed for a winning goal, however, they lost possession and St Mirren counter-attacked. Toyosi Olusanya found himself free in the six yards box and turned a header from Mandron high into the Aberdeen net.<\/p>\n
