One Auckland FC player is extra grateful after their latest match in football's A-League

The Black Knights claimed a 2-1 win away to the Central Coast Mariners, despite Callan Elliot's defensive header rocketing into the wrong goal.

The right back recalls a sense of relief when Auckland striker Sam Cosgrove scored the winner, with a perfect header of his own.



Auckland have a trip to face the Western Sydney Wanderers on Friday night.
