Sydney FC v Queensland Roar 4 - Oct - 2008
Musialik’s late strike saves Sydney
Sydney FC midfielder Stuart Musialik stole an amazing 1-1 draw against Queensland Roar with a neat strike deep into stoppage time.
Scottish import Charlie Miller continued the incredible start to his A-League career, scoring his fifth goal in seven appearances in what looked to be a 49th minute winner at the Sydney Football Stadium.
But right at the death Musialik latched on to a long throw in from fellow Socceroos squad member Shannon Cole to snatch an unlikely point for the hosts.
“It would have been an injustice if we got nothing out of the game,” Sydney coach John Kosmina said later.
“We nearly tore them apart in the first half and in the second they did not outplay us but we outplayed ourselves.”
“But the goal we conceded surprisingly rattled us a bit.”
The match was not without controversy either, as Sydney were denied a strong penalty claim in the 80th minute when Roar midfielder Massimo Murdocca appeared to handle the ball inside the area.
Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek was part of the 12,403-strong crowd in Sydney to analyse the performances of three players he named in the 35-man squad to face Qatar in the October 15 World Cup qualifier in Brisbane - Roar skipper Craig Moore and Sydney pair Musialik and Cole.
Verbeek is likely to whittle down the squad before it assembles for the first time in Brisbane on Wednesday and could have been a final audition, particularly for Musialik and Cole.
Miller, who has one international cap, has been a revelation since joining the Roar from Belgian side Lierse SK, already breaking an A-League record by scoring in each of his first four matches.
The 32-year-old former Rangers midfielder Miller netted with a low shot from just outside the penalty area after Sydney’s defenders afforded him too much space.
Queensland coach Frank Farina could not hide his disappointment at conceding such a late equaliser.
“I reckon Kossie should go and buy a lotto ticket tonight after getting out of jail, with 30 seconds to go,” Farina said.
“We are disappointed. We could have finished them off but all credit to them for fighting till the end.”
Unheralded 21-year-old Matt Mundy held his own at the back for Queensland in his A-League debut.
An accountancy student and part-time retail worker, Mundy got the call-up because fellow rookie Luke DeVere was on duty with the Young Socceroos, Ben Griffin is suspended and Josh McCloughan is still sidelined.
