Melbourne City's Dario Vidosic denied Melbourne Victory top spot of the A-League and a seventh-straight win, scoring an injury-time equaliser in a 1-1 derby draw.
Victory, without star Keisuke Honda, were on track to extend their superb run before Vidosic nodded home Scott Jamieson's desperate 92nd-minute cross.
Ola Toivonen had headed in Kosta Barbarouses' cross in the 55th minute on Saturday night to give Kevin Muscat's side the lead.
The result was a fair one given the weight of chances to City, and continued a Christmas tradition of late goals in the December derby. Four of the nine derbies have featured game-changing goals in the 90th minute or later.
