Football: O’Donovan’s goal run as Mariners claim draw
Irishman Roy O’Donovan scored his third goal
in as many home games to help the Central
Coast Mariners salvage a 1-1 draw with
Wellington Phoenix in Australia’s A-League
on Sunday.
O’Donovan’s 75th minute header
cancelled out a ninth-minute strike from
former Mariners favourite Michael
McGlinchey.
The point each kept the Mariners and
Phoenix in the lower half of the
standings.
Sydney FC maintain their spot at the top
of the table following a goalless home
draw with Brisbane.
Both teams in the top-of-the-table game
could not break down the opposing
defences and settled for a point.
Western Sydney Wanderers moved into
the top six thanks to a cracking 25-metre
strike from Mitch Nichols in a 2-1 win
over the Newcastle Jets at Hunter
Stadium.
The Wanderers trailed 1-0 after Serbian
Enver Alivodic scored in the 73rd
minute but they equalised six minutes
later from the penalty spot before
Nichols put the Wanderers in front in
the 86th minute with a powerful long
range strike.
Melbourne City playmaker Aaron Mooy
orchestrated a 4-2 victory over Adelaide
United to leave the Reds as the A-
League’s only winless club.
Mooy set up Eric Paartalu for the opener
and scored the next before Bruno
Fornaroli rubbed salt into the Reds’
gaping wounds with a second-half brace
at Adelaide’s Coopers Stadium.
Adelaide’s Sergio Cirio scored in the 66th
minute – the first goal by a Reds player
this season – and Spanish teammate
Pablo Sanchez netted late with a penalty.
