Canberra United 1-3 Central Coast Mariners

Making the trip to the nation’s capital to take on United at McKellar Park, the Mariners took the lead after just ten minutes on Sunday morning when forward Michael Katsoulis fired home to give Head Coach Nick Montgomery’s side the advantage.

Though United’s Jordan Host was able to restore the game to equilibrium for Head Coach Ray Junna's - coaching against his former club - crew in the 43rd minute when he netted for the hosts the balance was not long to last: Harry McCarthy restoring the Mariners lead within sixty seconds.

Kyle Johnson then put the cherry on the Mariners’ sundae in the 95th minute of proceedings when he curled a free-kick beyond United’s assembled wall and beyond goalkeeper Sam Brown to make it 3-1.
