FIRST HALF: hosts lead came from one of the more difficult attempts during a period of many wasteful opportunities.
SECOND HALF: visitors triple substitutions breathed life into their now threatening attack.

IN THE END: no clean sheet and emphasis on outscoring rivals went under water while inclement conditions prevailed.
