Central Coast Mariners have snapped their three-game losing streak after a 1-1 draw with Wellington Phoenix at a wet Gosford on Sunday.
The visitors took an early lead through ex-Mariner McGlinchey and held onto that advantage for over an hour before the Mariners got a deserved equaliser 14 minutes from the end.
Striker Roy O’Donovan scored with a superb header from Anthony Caceres’ corner to ensure a share of the spoils for the home side, who dominated the majority of an entertaining clash.
The result keeps both sides outside of the top six, with Phoenix in seventh spot on seven points and the Mariners a place further back on four points.
GOALS
0-1 McGlinchey (8’) – A stunning counter-attack from Phoenix. Roy Krishna surged down the right before switching play to an unmarked McGlinchey. The Kiwi international cut inside Jake McGing before curling an unstoppable shot past Paul Izzo.
1-1 O’Donovan (76’) – The Irishman made a great run to the near post from a corner, stealing a metre of space from his marker before diverting his header in over the top of Glen Moss.
