Miramar probably deserved their win but the referee had a nightmare. Seemed to be trying too hard not to be biased as he was from Christchurch but went too far the other way.
Tech one nil up but then conceded two in quick succession. One of them should have been chalked off for an earlier foul. Then Miramar were awarded a very soft penalty right on halftime.
Then early in the second half Michael White got himself sent off with the help of the whole Miramar team mobbing the ref demanding a second yellow. It was a fair enough call but the sight of the whole team doing high fives after the sending off suggested a plan to wind up White had been successful.
