The away side took all three points from the visit, extending their push into the upper reaches of the table. Belconnen, sitting ninth, will look to regroup after yet another narrow defeat.
The decisive moment arrived in the 59th minute when A. Milicevic found the net for Cooma.

The home side pushed forward but could not find an equaliser, watching their opponents hold on grimly.
Belconnen United sit ninth with eight points from 14 games, recording two wins, two draws and ten losses. Cooma Tigers occupy third place with 31 points from 15 matches, their record of ten victories and four defeats underscoring their consistency. The gap between them remains substantial, and tonight's result only widened it.
Cooma's recent run includes a 4-1 win against Tuggeranong United and a 2-0 victory over Canberra White Eagles, showing they can raise the tempo when they need to. Belconnen's form has been harder to sustain, with defeats to Tuggeranong United and Canberra Juventus among their last results. This outcome means the Tigers move further clear while Belconnen face another difficult task to climb away from the bottom half.
