If it wasn't bad enough the Phoenix are playing their 2021 home games across the Tasman in Wollongong, fans forced to watch them on TV missed their first goal of the season.<\/p>\n

On the stroke of halftime midfield debutant Mirza Muratovic, who joined the Phoenix from Brisbane Roar, levelled the scores at 1-1 in what was described as an "absolutely cracking goal."<\/p>\n

Problem was the only people who saw it were those at WIN Stadium. TV screens carrying the live cover went as black as the ref's shirt.<\/p>\n

Not only was the goal not captured live, apparently it was not captured at all, by any camera, though footage eventually did emerge 17 minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n

\"Mirza<\/p>\n

At halftime, it was left to former Australia goalkeeper Mark Bosnich to tell blank-faced Fever fans how it happened. And he didn't do a great job.<\/p>\n

Apparently the Phoenix broke out and the ball found its way to Muratovic and then "it was a wonderful finish, it wasn't hit with great pace."<\/p>\n

One can only guess former goalkeepers hate describing goals.<\/p>\n

It all added up to the best goal you'll never see in the A-League we were told, before the darkness was lifted.<\/p>\n
