Central Coast Mariners 2–2 Newcastle Jets

Oscar Lavale scored at both ends of this A-League draw, netting once for Central Coast Mariners and, in a bizarre twist, once credited to Newcastle Jets, as the two sides shared the points 2-2. The Mariners looked to be cruising after Auglah struck in the 11th minute, but Wood leveled for the Jets early in the second half and the game swung again when Lavale put Central Coast back in front in the 60th. Newcastle refused to fold, though, hauling themselves level for good eight minutes from time. Neither club arrives with momentum to lean on: the Mariners sit sixth, the Jets just behind in seventh, and with S. Cosgrove leading the league's scoring charts elsewhere, none of Saturday's goalscorers are troubling the top ten yet. The pair have split their last two meetings almost evenly, a draw and a loss for the home side, so this result fits the pattern of a fixture that refuses to settle one way. Four goals, two momentum swings, and a Newcastle Jets fightback capped by Lavale's second of the afternoon, catch every strike from Central Coast Mariners' rollercoaster draw in the highlights below.
