Newcastle Jets consolidated their position in the top 4 with a last-gasp 1-0
win on the road against Queensland Roar. Scoreless in the first half, the
match came to life at the hour mark when Matt McKay was challenged in
the box and went to ground; the referee pointed to the penalty spot. It
was a golden chance to put the Roar in the lead, but Jets' keeper Ante
Covic guessed correctly and the penalty shot was saved.
The match continued, and another outstanding save by Covic kept Simon
Lynch out. The Roar had done most of the attacking all night with nothing
to show for it on the scoreboard, which was to prove deadly as the clock
ticked into injury time.
The Jets moved forward, with Tarik Elrich working his way around
Marcinho before centreing to Joel Griffiths, who headed home the
Newcastle game-winner. Against the run of play, the Jets had taken the
match in the dying moments and the Brisbane home crowd went home
stunned.

Over 18,000 people, the biggest crowd ever for a domestic football match
in New Zealand, attended Westpac Stadium as the Phoenix took on
Adelaide. But the vocal home crowd were soon silenced as Paul Agostino
found himself on the end of a cross from Pantelis to head home an early
score for the Reds.
After the half-time break, Adelaide's physical style began to earn the
wrath of referee Craig Zetter, with a string of free kicks and cards helping
the Phoenix work their way back into the contest. It came to a head on
69 minutes when Milan Susak conceded his second yellow; leaving the
Reds with 10 men and sending Daniel to the penalty spot. He made no
mistake, equalising the scores and sending the crowd into raptures.
But the hopes of the locals were dashed 10 minutes later when Nathan
Burns set up Lucas Pantelis to restore the lead for the Reds. And despite
the Phoenix having the advantage of an extra player on the pitch during
the closing stages, there was to be no equaliser; the win for Adelaide
maintaining their position in the top 4.

The much-anticipated clash between Central Coast Mariners and Sydney FC was to end in anti-climax;
with the first ever postponement in the history of the A-League. Steady rain caused puddles to
appear on the pitch, with referee Matthew Breeze declaring the pitch unplayable 30 minutes before
kick-off. The match will be rescheduled to 22nd December.
Central Coast Mariners v Sydney FC - Postponed.

The long-suffering Perth Glory supporters were finally rewarded with a home win, and they did it in
style with a comprehensive 3-1 result against reigning champions Melbourne Victory.
A length of the field run by Jiimmy Downey was capped off with a pinpoint pass to Jamie Harnwell in
the box, who was able to land an early score. And at 27 minutes, a long-range strike from Nikita
Rukavytsya beat the diving save of Theoklitos to put the Glory 2-0 ahead.
Melbourne got one back through Adrian Caceres to cut the margin to 2-1, but from the kick-off to
start the second half the ball found its way to Rukavytsya, who booted home his second goal just
seconds after the restart; a goal that took the wind out of the victory sails and ensured the Glory
would cruise to a comfortable win and climb their way off the bottom of the ladder.
