Central Coast Mariners were again forced to settle for a point in a match they dominated for large periods, sharing a scoreless draw with Adelaide United at Canberra Stadium.

United's Australian cousins were in control for large parts of the match and manager Lawrie McKinna was left to rue what might have been:

"The first half was good, but in the second we got better and dominated. We dominated the chances, the possession, played some really good football and created some really good chances we should have taken.

"We played the last ten minutes with ten men, and I thought we even handled that well. It's disappointing we have let two points go, but the positive is the overall performance, I thought, was very good," said McKinna.

Pedj Bojic, Michael McGlinchey, Matthew Crowell, Dean Heffernan, Adam Kwasnik and Brad Porter all went close for the Mariners, highlighting the amount of chances created, whilst Crowell was sent off in the closing stages after picking up two bookings in the space of six minutes.

Mariners' next home match in the Hyundai A-League will be against Perth Glory on Friday 27th November.
