Phoenix goalie earns his side an A-league draw

5:59 am on 10 October 2011

The Wellington Phoenix goal keeper Mark Paston reproduced his brilliant World Cup form to help his team to an honourable 1-all draw in yesterday's A-league game against Gold Coast at Skilled Park.

Paston, despite straining stomach muscles in the second half, was beaten only in the 88th minute by a superb 25 metre blast from James Brown.

The Phoenix had led from the 17th minute through Chris Greenacre.
