It took 218 minutes for the Canberra Cosmos to score their first ever goal
and defender Paul Dee achieved that honour. A lot of help was given by South's
goal-keeper, Dean Anastasiadis when he fumbled the ball across the line.
This was probably more surprising to the hometown fans and things got worse
when Jason Dunn headed from a corner for a second goal only ten minutes into the
second half. Many thought that this would be the first upset of the league.
The home team fought back behind the vocal support of their fans and were able
to score two goals, the second a lucky deflection which beat last week's hero
Danny Milosevic for the equalizer. In the dying minutes, Ivan Kelic nearly
stole the game for Souths.
This was the first away league point for Canberra and the team were happy with the
result even though they squandered a 2-0 lead with 35 minutes to play.
