Central Coast draw 1-1 with Melbourne Victory

SYDNEY (AP) -Daniel McBreen's 13th goal of the season from the penalty spot rallied Central Coast to draw 1-1 with the Melbourne Victory and stay atop the A-League on Saturday.

Central Coast was without coach Graham Arnold, who had been ordered from the sideline for abusing match officials, when McBreen cancelled out Marcos Flores's first-half goal with a 77th-minute equalizer.

The result left Central Coast two points clear of Adelaide, which opened the 16th round with a 3-2 win over Perth.

Arnold later apologized for his behavior saying "it was mainly down to frustration at our poor performance in the first half.''
