FC Carlton Heart 3-3 (5-6 Penalties) Fitzroy FC
CARL – S.Galea 3
FITZ – E.Coppock 2 & J.Dillon
The final game of the night saw a top of the table clash with Carlton and Fitzroy doing battle. Never much to separate the pair it was Fitzroy who took the lead after being awarded an early penalty which was dispatched by Em Coppock to give her side the lead. Em Coppock then struck from a corner to double the Tigeress’ advantage. Carlton hit back almost immediately through a header from Steph Galea to halve the deficit, before Galea won the ball high up and finished to level the scores going into the break.
With the game in the balance, Galea intercepted a ball and finished to complete her hat trick and put Carlton ahead for the first time on the night. Both sides were creating chances with the keepers and posts getting a workout with Carlton having a number of chances to ice the game but were made to pay when Jess Dillon finished her one on one chance to send the game to a shootout.
Twelve penalties were taken with Carlton being the unlucky one to miss as Fitzroy took a vital win to remain on top of the table.
