Canberra United pinches draw against Western Sydney Wanderers Former captain Ellie Brush✓ scored a rare goal with her feet to help Canberra United pinch a 1-1 draw against Western Sydney Wanderers - and avoid a third home defeat of the W-League season - at McKellar Park on Saturday. It was a game Canberra should have won after dominating possession for almost the entire second half, but they struggled to create any clear-cut chances apart from the occasional set piece. A sloppy goal conceded after just 10 minutes almost proved costly until Brush threw her leg at a loose ball on the edge of the Wanderers penalty box in the 90th minute to equalise. Canberra midfielder Lori Lindsey was clearly best on ground and it was one of her precise free kicks that helped the home side steal a point. With the clock ticking down, Lindsey curled a ball to Caitlin Munoz, only for her header to hit the crossbar. It rebounded out to Brush, who showed strength to win the ball and sweep it home. Normally it's her head that does the damage. "Plenty of possession, but it's not much good if you can't put it in the back of the net, " Brush said. That's football, but thank god we finally did in the end and really should have had the game wrapped up a lot earlier than that. We would've counted on those [three] points at the beginning of the season and we've got to use this as a turning point to push for finals. The Wanderers opened the scoring when Michelle Carney flicked on Kendall Johnson's cross and an unmarked Hannah Beard calmly nodded it home after her United defender slipped. From there it was all United, but they struggled to turn a mountain of possession into many clear-cut chances. When they did have a chance, normally from a Lindsey cross, they failed to take it with Kendall Fletcher heading wide and Munoz blasting a one-on-one chance over the bar in the first half. Canberra striker Michelle Heyman worked tirelessly and looked dangerous whenever she went near the ball, but she lacked support. United coach Elisabeth Migchelsen praised the team's fight, but was again left frustrated by wasted opportunities. "You see what happens if you're not clinical enough and finish your chances ... one error and they punish us," she said. We are dangerous with our set pieces, that is a strength of our team, but we need to be more creative in the final third and be more clinical in finishing. The draw moved Canberra into third, but they could slip to fifth depending on Sunday's results. They host second-place Sydney FC at McKellar Park next Sunday.
