Star striker Aleksandar Prijovic has pulled off a brilliant diving header to salvage Western United a 1-1 A-League Men draw against Brisbane Roar.
Prijovic's wonderful goal in the 78th minute, his third of the season, cancelled out Carlo Armiento's lovely finish in the 28th.
The Roar are unbeaten in seven matches and sit sixth while United are ninth and unbeaten in three.
The first big chance arrived in the 18th minute when Armiento almost scored directly from a corner but United's Josh Risdon cleared the ball off the line.
A minute later, Brisbane's Nikola Mileusnic toe-poked home but was offside.
In the 27th minute, United's Lachie Wales headed across the face of goal.
A minute later, the Roar struck.
O'Shea drove a pass into Henry Hore and the forward flicked the ball into the path of Armiento, who lifted it into the back of the net for his second goal in two matches.
United got a foothold in the game after coach John Aloisi called upon some fresh legs.
The introductions of Nicolas Milanovic at halftime, Dylan Pierias and Rhys Bozinovski in the 55th minute and Noah Botic in the 76th gave United a burst of energy as they dealt with a four-day turnaround.
In the 64th minute, Milanovic unsuccessfully appealed for a penalty when he went down in the area with Brisbane's Connor Chapman.
United came desperately close to equalising when Botic's on-target header was deflected clear in the 78th minute.
Less than a minute later, Josh Risdon cut onto his right foot and launched a brilliant cross into the six-yard box where a diving Prijovic headed home.
Dylan Pierias skimmed a deflected effort over the bar in the 81st minute while United goalkeeper Jamie Young made a crucial diving save at the death to deny a rocket from Jordan Courtney-Perkins.
There were touching scenes pre-match when both teams held a moment of applause in memory of football legend Pele, while United defender Leo Lacroix, who is Swiss but of Brazilian heritage, held up a Brazil shirt.
United skipper Alessandro Diamanti started his first game in 313 days.
