Bundoora United women’s team showed the gap between itself and
runaway minor premier South Melbourne was not as big as the table
suggests with a 2-2 draw at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday.
Bundoora took a late 2-1 lead before South striker Laura Spiranovic converted a late penalty to earn a draw for the home team.
Tiffany Eliadis gave South a 1-0 half-time lead before a 68th-minute equaliser from Bundoora’s Caitlin Friend.
Gulcan Koca put Bundoora in front in the 82nd minute but Ebru
Hasan’s foul on Eliadis in the last minute gave South a penalty to level
the game.
South (56 points) is well clear on top from Sandringham (44), Box Hill (43) and Bundoora (41).
