Shortly later, in the eighth minute, the Griffins were awarded a throw-in near the corner when Ian Steinkamp threw the ball into the box that resulted in a goal by Max Sarich.

On the next Gorlok possession, Webster advanced the ball near the box when Scott Price blasted a shot off the Griffins defender. Seconds later, Hatley ripped his second shot of the match but it was also saved by Haggard.
