Labasa Striker Roy Krishna could not save his Waitakere United team from going down 2 - 1 against the Canterbury United in the New Zealand Football League.

Waitakere threw the playoff chase wide open, as other teams like Auckland City and Team Wellington grabbed vital points in their respective matches.

Waitakere's defeat to third placed Canterbury United yesterday leaves both teams tied on 12 points with only the west Aucklanders' superior goal difference keeping them above Canterbury on the ladder.
