Ten-man City claim a point

MELBOURNE City played an hour with 10 men but still managed to snare an A-League point from Central Coast yesterday.

The eighth-placed Mariners were twice in front in Gosford but twice let their depleted visitors back into the game, only to be punished in the 86th minute by a Marcin Budzinski goal for a 2-2 draw.

Alan Baro captured an early lead and the hosts appeared well in control after Harrison Delbridge was marched in the 27th minute.
