Recap

Fitzroy have come from behind to score with the last kick of the game and end Carlton’s unbeaten run of twelve games.

The first half was all Carlton as they scored early twice to go out to a two-nil lead, and that is how it stayed until the half-time break.

The second half started more promisingly for Fitzroy, as Scott Rogan scored to get them back into the game.

But when Fitzroy’s defence went to sleep, allowing Carlton’s Ben Rigby to get in behind them and score Carlton’s third, Fitzroy’s title-dreams appeared to be fading into just that, a dream.

But Fitzroy had other ideas in mind as they deployed the fifth-man tactic and it paid dividends immediately when Rogan, who was playing as the fly-keeper, scored his second goal of the game.

Jose Filho equalised for Fitzroy with less than two minutes to play, but he quickly went from hero to villain as he saw red with 18 seconds to go.

Fitzroy continued to play on the front foot despite being a man down, and with less than five seconds to play, a Fernando De Moraes shot was deflected and as the siren buzzed, the ball rippled the back of the next, sending De Moraes and Fitzroy into pandemonium.

After a lengthy consultation between the two match referees Evan Robotis and Aiden Kerridge over whether or not the goal would stand, the goal was awarded and Carlton’s lengthy unbeaten run was officially over.
