Gold Coast United 3 – Central Coast Mariners 3 (A-League, February 22, 2012) Mariners sharpshooter Adam Kwasnik slotted a soft goal in just the fourth minute of the clash, but the Gold Coast then turned the in spectacular fashion. Teenager Chris Arnold scored for the spot to level, while another teenager Ben Halloran put United ahead 2-1 with a solo stunner in the 17th minute. A massive upset seemed likely when the underdogs went 3-1 up after Mitch Cooper shot past Pasfield in the 56th minute. However, goals to Bernie Ibini (59th minute) and a second to Kwasnik in the 65th minute set the scene for a tense finish.
