Diamenti did not play long ball much. That is why a draw.

I didnt see the match as i was at training, but reports stated that davilla hobbled off; with a short turn around (3 days) it will be interesting if he's fit to play

Lol, how do you call time right on 94 after you give a yellow card for time wasting? Frustrating game there for the Nix, win goes begging and that makes it hard for them to make the finals.
