Ryan Lethlean came off the bench to score the equaliser for Victory, while the striker also had a great late chance to claim all three points.

Lethlean has scored twice at NPL2 level this season, having netted 10 for Victory’s title-winning under-20s.

The likes of Lethlean, William Wilson and Nicholas Hamakiotis – who have spent much of this season in the under-20s – were part of Victory’s squad in the draw with the Zebras.

While Victory is ninth on the table, St Albans holds a two-point lead at the top heading into the final game of the campaign.
