That wraps things up from this one on Tribe, but thanks for joining us. This is Ryan Nixon (@NewYorkNixon) signing off.
There were some promising signs from the new signings, particularly with Kota Mizunuma and Charles M'Mombwa for the Jets, while Tass Mourdoukoutas and Lachlan Wales impressed for the Glory. It's still a long road back for these two teams if they're to challenge for the finals, but there were some signs of improvement this evening, and impact from the new signings.
The second half was a little more evenly contested, but with the introduction of the Jets substitutes, they took control of the game once more. It finally brought reward as they hit the front again through a fine finish from Clayton Taylor, but again were unable to preserve their lead, as the Glory got impact from their own bench. Joel Anasmo was the man to spark things, and with Adam Taggart persevering inside the box, it enabled Lachlan Wales to tap home for a goal on Glory debut. It was a cruel concession for the Jets, who for long periods didn't look like having their line breached, but were ultimately made to pay for failing to bury the game at the other end of the park.
So a wild one finishes with the teams earning a point each, which truth be told, doesn't really help either of these sides towards the foot of the table. Newcastle will be the team who are most disappointed with the draw, as they created an absolute wealth of chances throughout the game, but simply didn't convert enough of them through poor finishing, some desperate defending, and the intervention of the goal frame. They could easily have been out of sight by halftime on any other day, but were made to pay for their profligate finishing, as the Glory found a first half equaliser when Adam Taggart drew a penalty out of nothing and duly converted.

A late card picked up for time wasting.

90+6'
A late corner for the Jets, but Mizunuma's delivery is his worst of the match and comes to nothing. M'Mombwa then gives away a free kick in the follow up.
90+5'
SHOT! Corner cleared, but Wales then has a long range effort on the follow up. Straight at Scott.
90+4'
SAVE! The Glory have a chance to win it after nicking the ball inside their own half, and a long ball then looks for Anasmo. Grozos does a poor job of dealing with it, and Anasmo is through one on one with Scott! The keeper does well to stay big and save! Corner Glory.
