GREEN Gully is still winless in the Vodafone Cup after being held to a 1-1 draw against Richmond on Sunday.
The defending champion has just two points from a possible 12 so far this season, and had to scramble a late goal in round four to capture a draw.
The Cavaliers welcomed Jeffrey Fleming back into the starting line-up and introduced debutant Matthew Sanders, but were without premiership players Brandon Vassallo and Peter Hader.
As has been the case in the season so far, Green Gully was again made to play catch-up after conceding a goal in the 14th minute.
An individual effort from Richmond’s Daniel Visevic stunned the home crowd as he danced past the Gully defence and powered a shot past Pasi Schwalger.
Both sides had chances to score at different stages of the match as the momentum continually swung, and Gully turned desperate to find a levelling goal.
The Cavaliers had a goal disallowed with 30 minutes remaining, but finally found an equaliser with less than 10 minutes of normal time left.
It was first-gamer Sanders who capitalised on a damaging run from Joel Nikolic to slot home a goal and even up proceedings.
Richmond’s Noel Bahnsen was sent off shortly after the goal, but Green Gully could not find another goal and remain in the bottom three.
