Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Mark Paston was back in action in round 5 of the A-League, playing a full game as his side drew 1-1 with Adelaide United on Friday 4 September 2009.
For Adelaide, midfielder Paul Reid also played a full game at Westpac Stadium but neither men were able to inspire their side to victory.
Both players would have been feeling happier than North Queensland Fury goalkeeper Paul Henderson however, as he was dropped to the bench for his side’s 1-1 draw with Brisbane Roar on Saturday 5 September 2009.
