Manly feel the Payne at Lambert

By

An incredible last ditch goal from Chris Payne in added time has helped APIA Leichhardt Tigers snatch a dramatic 1-1 draw against Manly United at Lambert Park on Saturday.

The former Manly striker came back to haunt his former club to save the Tigers from defeat with a brilliant display of goal poaching in the final seconds of the match to put him within one goal behind the competition’s leading scorer Thomas James from the Wolves with 11 for the season.

It was a heartbreaking defeat for the boys from the Northern Beaches who thought Brendan Cholakian’s first half penalty would be enough to secure all three points.

However, it wasn’t to be for Manly as they slipped up in the dying stages to give APIA a morale boosting result.

It was a lethargic start from both sides with neither Manly or APIA able to create any early headway.

The match was locked in the middle of the park with sloppy possessions stopping the game from opening up.

A lapse in defence and moment of ill-disciple proved costly for the home side when an errant challenge from Sean Symons took down Kieran Paull in the penalty area.

Cholakian wasn’t to be denied from the spot firing his penalty past the outstretched arms of Necvecki to give Manly a 1-0 lead.

The goal sparked APIA into action but their efforts eventuated to nothing with the Tigers lacking the clinical ball required to break down Manly’s defence.

Mitchell was getting better as the match went on in the Manly goals and had an answer for everything APIA sent his way.

The scores remained the same at half time despite a late flurry from Manly with the visitors happy to cling on to their 1-0 lead.

The home side raced out of the blocks in the second stanza as they pushed hard for an equaliser.

An incredible goal line clearance from Keiran Paull denied what appeared to be a sure goal for APIA as he dived in to deny a curling shot from Corey Biczo.

APIA had another amazing chance in the 71st minute when consecutive bicycle kicks from Biczo and Payne were blocked by Mitchell before the Manly keeper snatched the ball just as it was set to cross the goal line.

It was one way traffic as Manly sat back and absorbed everything a desperate APIA attack could throw at them.

Mitchell remained steadfast between the posts as the pressure mounted and made another clutch save in the 90th minute when an unmarked Payne headed on goal.

With the final seconds ticking down APIA performed a miracle with one of the last plays of the game.

A lofted ball from Ucchino put Sean Symons into space who fired in a low cross for Payne to flick past the keeper and snatch a dramatic last ditch draw.

A much relieved John Calleja praised the never say die attitude shown by his star striker Payne.

“He just keeps running and kept fighting until the final whistle which saved the day for us in the end,” he said.

“I thought it was going to be one of those nights where we created chance after chance but wouldn’t have luck on our side.

“Thankfully the team kept the faith and Chris was able to find that all important goal to secure us a valuable point.”

Manly assistant coach Dylan Macallister rued what could’ve been as his side gave up an early lead for the second time in as many weeks.

“We paid the price for clocking off in the final minutes,” he said.

“We just lacked the discipline today to get the win. We played so well for 90 minutes and to then miss out on the win by a goal in the final seconds is heartbreaking.

“The team is giving it their everything week in and week out but we need to play smarter and make the most of our chances if we are to achieve the results I believe this team deserves.”

Suns winning streak continues with win over Manly

By

Rockdale City Suns incredible mid-season turnaround has added another chapter with a 2-1 comeback win against Manly United at Ilinden Sports Centre on Sunday. 

It was Rockdale’s fourth straight league win and sixth overall since interim boss Nick Porecca took charge of the Suns helping lift them into the top five for the first time since round two.

A brilliant solo effort from Manly’s Brendan Cholakian gave the visitors the perfect start but it wasn’t to be as the home side found their rhythm in the closing stages of the first half when Jordan Figon levelled the score.

A brilliant header from Sasa Macura midway through the second half wrapped up the win for Rockdale and a vital three points.

The home side started the better of two sides with Rockdale creating two big chances to break the deadlock inside the opening ten minutes.

Michael Neill delivered a dangerous cross into the box which flew across the face of goal untouched by either side before Leigh Egger stuck the woodwork with a powerful long range drive only moments later.

Manly were sitting back and looking to pounce on the counter attack through speedy wingers Adam Parkhouse and Dejan Pandurevic.

However, it was club veteran Cholakian who had the biggest impact for the visitors when he broke the deadlock in the 17th minute.

The tricky midfielder created space for himself 25 yards out from goal before firing into the top left corner with a brilliant curling effort to make it 1-0.

A rapid counter attack from Manly nearly doubled their lead in the 34th minute however a shot on goal from Pandurevic was blocked by a desperation effort from Neill.

Rockdale refused to back down and a slick passage of play between Figon and Urosevski set up an impressive equaliser for the home side in the 40th minute.

Figon delivered a cheeky back-heel to Urosevski who fired the ball back to his striker before it was thundered into the back of the net.

The burly striker thought he doubled his tally in the 45th minute after side footing into the top corner but the assistant referee had other ideas as he flagged Figon for offside.

Deadlocked at the interval, Rockdale raced out of the blocks at the start of the second stanza with Figon firing inches wide of the post after a determined solo run.

Tackles were flying in as both teams lifted their intensity hoping to take control of the clash.

Rockdale interim boss Nick Porecca looked to ignite his attack introducing star signing Panny Nikas off the bench in his first league match after injury.

He didn’t take long to make an impact firing a long range strike which sailed agonisingly wide of the goal.

The home side were on the ascendency and Urosevski spurned a gilt-edged chance pushing his chip shot wide when one on one with the keeper.

For all Rockdale’s chances, Manly were still in the contest and a dangerous cross from Parkhouse caught his opponents napping but it was cleared off the line.

Nikas sailed a header over the bar in the 74th minute after a curling ball into the box from Savor

The mercurial midfielder wasn’t able to add to his teams tally himself but he did turn provider in the 80th minute.

A pinpoint corner kick delivery found the head of Macura who flicked the ball over the keeper and into the net to give Rockdale a 2-1 advantage.

The woodwork denied the Suns once again with eight minutes left on the clock after an unmarked Urosevski blasted a shot from six yards out onto the upright with only the keeper to beat.

Manly attempted to find an equaliser in the closing stages but they had few chances with Rockdale dominating possession to close out the match.

Rockdale assistant coach Matthew Ribarovski praised his side’s fighting spirit to bounce back after conceding an early goal.

“The confidence is high among the team and we knew that if played our own game and staled calm then the goals would come,” he said.

“We hung tough and came back at manly hard in the second half.

“We are starting to get everyone back from injury so the competition for positions is heating up. That has been a big benefit for the whole squad and it has been evident in our play. Hopefully we can keep it up.”

An opportunity lost was how Manly United coach Paull Dee best described the result.

“I felt we started the match well but our performance wasn’t quite there in the second half and you could feel the momentum shift,” he said.

“I think we have been structurally sound this season but lacked a clinical edge in front of goal and that was the story again today.

“I’m not too disappointed with how we played but we need to learn from results like this if we are to make the finals this season.”

Hakoah dealt with sucker punch at Cromer Park

By

A dramatic last-minute own goal saw Manly United secure a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over an unfortunate Hakoah Sydney City East at Cromer Park on Sunday afternoon. 

Following an uneventful first period, the contest sprung to life moments after the interval as Hakoah marksman Amaury Gauthier capitalised on a miscued defensive header from Sam Gallagher, lobbing the visitors into the lead.

Manly struck back on the hour mark thanks to a thumping Brendan Cholakian header, which brought the healthy Northern Beaches crowd to life.

In a see-saw encounter, momentum regularly changed hands as both outfits struggled to stamp authority upon the contest; however one final twist to the tale arrived in the 89th minute.

Just as it appeared they would have to settle for a share of the spoils, Bradley Walker’s desperate attempted clearance was misdirected into the back of his net, cruelly handing all three points to a euphoric Manly side.

As has been characteristic of both sides on many occasions this season, a tense arm-wrestle unfolded early with neither goalkeeper seriously troubled in the opening half an hour.

Addison Sayan was energetic for the visitors, unleashing a couple of sighters that were wide of the mark.

However it was their custodian Ryan Norval who stood between Manly and the lead late in the half.

A back-post header Dejan Pandurevic on 37 minutes was miraculously palmed away by the shot-stopper.

Then four minutes later, a Hakoah defensive lapse saw Manly’s corner bounce on the six-yard box, forcing a flying Norval into keeping out a stinging Brendan Cholakian header that appeared destined for the top right corner. Moments later, an even more impressive reaction save denied Bradley Macdonald’s close-range volley, ensuring both sides would head into the sheds at level pegging.

However the break appeared to arrive at the wrong time for a Manly side who were belatedly gaining steam, as their opponents broke the deadlock two minutes into the second half.

Sam Gallagher attempted to nod a long-distance defensive clearance back to Dylan Mitchell, however he horribly scuffed his header, inadvertently releasing a lurking Amaury Gauthier through on goal.

The striker made no mistake with a delightful chip, silencing the Cromer faithful.

Gauthier almost doubled his tally in the 47th minute, exposing a shaky Manly defence to find himself one-on-one with Mitchell, however the custodian stood up with a comfortable low stop to keep his team in the contest.

The momentum then shifted back to the hosts on the hour mark, as Dejan Pandurevic unleashed a precise delivery from the corner flag.

Cholakian wriggled his way free yet again, and this time made no mistake with a commanding header into the bottom corner.

Following the equaliser, Hakoah’s greatest threats arrived courtesy of their rapid counter attack.

Substitute Harry Jones was almost the hero on 80 minutes, as he found himself in behind and face to face with Mitchell. However Manly’s ever-reliable number one collected a fairly tame effort from the midfielder.

With an injection of pace from substitutes Nikola Taneski and Charles Mendy, the closing stages saw the hosts grow in the belief that they could snatch a victory.

And it took a turn of fortune late on to achieve exactly that.

Adam Parkhouse ghosted his way onto the end of a back-post cross, before chesting it down and laying the ball back into a danger area that appeared to be covered by Hakoah defenders.

However before the home fans could let out one last sigh of disappointment, they were shocked by a skewed clearance which evaded Norval and nestled in the back of the net, sparking scenes of elation as Manly were handed all three points in dramatic fashion.

Manly coach Paul Dee was impressed by both his side’s show of character on the day and campaign so far as a whole.

“We just conceded a really silly defensive error, but I think the team showed good resolve to stick to the game plan and attack in numbers,” he reflected.

“We want to be hard to beat at home and haven’t lost at all since Round 1.

“The team has been structurally sound, but we just needed that little bit of quality in the final third to capitalise on some of the opportunities we’ve created.

“Despite missing a number of opportunities today, it was really pleasing to see the team not stop in their attempts going forward and believe in themselves until the end.”

On the other hand, Gavin Rae attempted to grasp the positives from a cruel result.

“Obviously it was very disappointing the way the game finished up,” the Hakoah boss said.

“Our squad is down to the bare bones at the moment due to injuries and suspensions.

“The boys put in a huge effort and I thought we dominated for periods of the game.

“We will regroup and take some of today’s positives moving forward.”

Manly United will hope to continue their seven match unbeaten run on the road when they face Rockdale City Suns at Illinden Sports Centre next Sunday afternoon, whilst Hakoah will endeavour to get their season back on track as they lock horns with Sydney United at Edensor Park on the same day.

Manly thwarted by late Olympic equaliser

By

A Dimi Petratos goal in the dying minutes has helped Sydney Olympic rescue a 2-2 draw with Manly United in their National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s clash on Friday evening at Belmore Sportsground.

With Olympic eyeing off another crushing defeat with less than four minutes left on the clock, Petratos saved the day with a well hit strike from outside the 18 yard box.

Manly took the advantage twice in the game through Dejan Pandurevic and Scott Balderson, but Olympic cancelled out both of their goals through Mitchell Stamatellis and then Petratos at the death.

It was yet another frustrating result for either side who have struggled to make the most of their chances so far this season.

Both teams created their share of chances in the opening stages of the game, but the first goal came in the 35th minute, with Manly United taking the lead.

Brendan Cholakian received the ball deep in the half and while Olympic’s defensive line called for the offside flag he passed the ball in to Pandurevic who hammered it into the netting.

The first goal for the home side came in the 56th minute, with both central defenders combining to even the score.

Tom Whiteside connected with a corner kick, heading the ball in to Stamatellis in prime position in front of goal, who then headed home the equaliser.

Olympic came back for more just minutes later, but Madonis was brought down on the border of the 18-yard box by Cholakian.

Gaitatzis took the free kick, sending the ball in through the wall and towards goal but Dylan Mitchell was in position to collect.

Manly came close to another in the 66th minute, with Adam Parkhouse’s free kick connecting with the woodwork before tipping over the bar and out of play.

The second goal for the visitors came in the 75th minute with Balderson making a run in behind Olympic’s back line to send his shot past Paul Henderson.

The home side didn’t lose hope, building momentum in the closing moments of the game to score the final equaliser in the 87th minute.

After making his way onto the field just minutes earlier, Petratos found himself with the ball just outside the 18-yard box and knocked home the equaliser for Olympic.

Manly coach Paul Dee said he was pleased with his side’s performance but was disappointed they couldn’t hold on to the win.

“We came here to win the game, I think we both had attacking game plans, it was end-to-end,” he explained.

“I’m pleased with a lot of the elements in the game, it’s just that last result I think we should have hung on to.

Olympic coach Abbas Saad was pleased with his side’s performance despite some key injuries and a two-day turnaround from their FFA Cup game on Wednesday.

“They’re a tough opposition, very athletic and physical, you’ve got to run with them for 90 minutes,” he said.

“We created a lot more chances, probably better chances than them. In that stance it was very pleasing.

“We showed a lot of heart and if we can continue to show a lot of heart and when we get everybody on board then we’ll be fine.”

Manly share points with Sharks in scoreless draw

By

A ten-man Sutherland Sharks have ended their four game losing streak after holding on for a scoreless draw against Manly United at Seymour Shaw on Saturday.

It was a hard earned point for the bottom of the table Sharks who were lucky to not concede a late goal after captain Marc Warren was sent for an early shower after receiving a second yellow card.

Both sides had their chances but paid the price for poor finishing in front of goal.

Goalkeepers Anthony Bouzanis and Dylan Mitchell were stand out performers as the Sharks and United ensure they took something away from an at times dour contest.

Warren picked up a caution in just the second minute for a foul on Dejan Pandurevic however, Adam Parkhouse skied the resultant free-kick over the bar.

Quivi Fowler produced a fantastic save from Dylan Mitchell six minutes later as the Sharks surged forward in numbers with Manly desperately blocking in the box in rapid succession.

Manly countered when a delightful cross found the head of an unmarked Scott Balderson but his effort never troubled Anthony Bouzanis.

It was a let off for Sutherland after being caught on the counter.

Juan Carlos Heras Romero spun in the box but opted to shoot rather than centre from an acute angle that Mitchell always had covered at his near post. It was symptomatic of the Sharks’ season to date.

The half drew to a close scoreless following a tigerish midfield battle.

Terry Palapanis was forced to ring the changes at the restart when sending Quentin Cheng on for Fowler after the latter sustained an injury toward the end of the opening stanza. It was news the Sharks could ill afford with a number of players carrying knocks.

Keiran Paull strode forward from right-back and tried his luck from distance that Bouzanis dealt with comfortably in the 56th minute, Lachlan Everett responded with a 30-yard pile-driver that had power but lacked direction in tit-for-tat fashion.

Warren unleashed a free-kick from 40-yards out on the hour mark that Mitchell spectacularly palmed around the upright raising the crowd to their feet. The execution was masterful, the reaction was sensational.

Juan Romero wriggled free and sent in a curling right-footer that had Mitchell scrambling but again, it was wide of the target.

Sutherland switched to three at the back and it almost paid immediate dividends when another Warren free-kick was fired in at pace however, Mitchell saw it all the way and safely gathered.

Warren, Sharks’ paler of the game, received his 2nd yellow in the final minute of normal time to leave Sutherland a man down to face the closing stages of the match.

However, United were unable to make their superior numbers count and the  lack of clear openings condemned the match to a goal-less stalemate that suited neither side.

Sharks coach Terry Palapanis rued his teams poor execution in the final third.

“It wasn’t our best in front of goal,” said Palapanis.

“We’ve been working of course and we’ve had opportunities but we just can’t seem to find the net.

“It was an even match and we kept a clean sheet so you look to the positives and with our FFA Cup game coming up in midweek we need to look forward.”

It was a similar sentiment shared by Manly boss Paul Dee who felt his team wasted their moments.

“I think we did well to get into the attacking third,” he said.

“But we lacked a little quality and composure at the pivotal moments.

“The balance of possession and intent was good but it didn’t;t amount to much in front of goal but the positive is another clean sheet to build on.

“We knew Sutherland are a tough side to beat after watching some of their games and they have the players to worry teams with their pace. They’ve been a little unlucky in their results and we always get a tough game here so tonight we accept the point and move on.”
