A long-range piledriver from Catherine Zimmerman has secured Melbourne Victory a 2-2 draw with Adelaide United in the A-League Women's first Pride Cup that all but ended the Reds' finals hopes.
Placed in an early deficit by Melina Ayres' seventh-minute opener, the visitors rallied and led at halftime thanks to goals from Meisha Westland and Chelsie Dawber, all the while repulsing numerous Victory attacks.
"We were pretty up and down," said Victory boss Jeff Hopkins.
