STATHS were reduced to 10 men in the 50th minute when Dexter Manning was given a straight red for dissent, and Excelsior capitalised on the man advantage five minutes later when Jhevan Smith scored from the penalty spot.

But STATHS salvaged a point five minutes from time as Omar Reid finished from close range to deny Excelsior all three points.
