Rangers and Sharks share the points

By

Mt Druitt Town Rangers has fought back to claim a valuable point in a 1-1 draw against Sutherland Sharks at Popondetta Park on Saturday night.

The Rangers again showed they are meant for this level, as the home side matched it with Sutherland  equalising with a moment of magic from Fabricio Fernandez on the hour mark.

The hosts couldn’t find the vital second goal to avoid back-to-back draws.

For Sutherland Sharks, it was a missed opportunity to get themselves off the bottom of the ladder. Jeremy Cox drilled home the opener, as the visitors held sway for the first half but much like the home side, their finishing deserted them.

On a crisp night at Popondetta Park, both sides got into their work early. Jordan Morfitis burst into the box well for Sutherland Sharks, denied by the huge frame of Mount Druitt goalkeeper, Carlos Saliadarre.

Down the other end, Luke Clifford fired one straight at  the Sharks keeper, Mitchell Evans. Much of the best play from the home side in the first 45 came through Clifford, Toufic Alameddine and Fabricio Fernandez.

The Sharks started to click into gear, Matteo Poljak had an effort touched over, quickly followed by Jeremy Cox’s low effort that was gobbled up Saliadarre, again making life hard for the opposition strikers.

Blake Thompson floated a well-directed free-kick that landed on top of the head of Solomon Monahan-Vaiika but the defender couldn’t crane his neck muscles enough to keep the ball underneath the bar.

Raul Beneit Romero had a pair of chances close to the break to put Sutherland Sharks ahead. His initial effort rebounded off Saliadarre before the follow up was swept out for a corner.

Right on the break, Fernandez and Alameddine whizzed efforts wide of the post for Mount Druitt Town Rangers. Fernandez bounced an effort wide of the left then Alameddine went high.

After the break, Raul Romero went close again but the breakthrough came in the 54th minute. A well bent ball into the area, found the foot of Cox, the striker tapped home, making it 1-nil to the Sharks.

On the hour mark, the Rangers had their response. Fernandez, who has quickly built a catalouge of well-taken goals this season, added another. The striker curled a free-kick around everyone, making it 1-1.

The goal sparked some belief for Mount Druitt.

Urged forward at every occasion, Alameddine started a counter that ended with Alex Boyadjian, the attacker sent his effort goalbound but it deflected for a corner.

Much of the chances in the late stages fell for the visitors.

Morfitis hit one high in the 71st followed a low effort from Poljak which was saved. Sharks looking to avoid back-to-back draws, as they pushed hard to move off the bottom.

Cox had another golden chance in the 84th when Morfitis clipped the ball into his path. Cox got his positioning wrong and scooped the ball into the fencing behind the goal, as the game drifted to the end.

Fernandez had a chance to play the hero again for Mount Druitt. He put them ahead with a delightful chip last weekend in their 3-3 draw, but this week, the effort shaved the post, going agonisingly wide as the teams shared the points.

Speaking afterwards Mount Druitt Town Rangers coach Aiden Desmond bemoaned his side’s lack of finishing again this week, as they need to turn these draws into victories to move up the ladder:

“Boys played well tonight. We created a lot of chances but need to start putting those chances away.

“There is no doubting the spirit in this group, but again, we need to put those away and get results.”

Sharks assistant Nefta Gonzalez had a similar tone when describing the draw as the Sharks have to turn these results against teams close to them on the ladder into victories to get off the bottom.

“We had good chances, played well in the entire game. Got the goal but we stopped doing our best and it became a scrappy game.

“We put a lot of hope in this fixture. It is very frustrating to not take three points and I think we did enough for all three.”

Sharks hold Wolves to thrilling draw

By

A second-half goal from Taylor McDonald has saved Wollongong Wolves from defeat as the league leaders snatched a 2-2 draw against last placed Sutherland Sharks at Seymour Shaw on Saturday.

It was a heartbreaking result for the Sharks who looked on track to end their six game winless streak but instead it was the Wolves who kept a streak alive as they stretched their incredible undefeated run to eight games.

Juan Romero opened the scoring before a stunning scorpion kick goal to Nikola Djordjevic, a serious contender for the goal of the season, cancelled out the lead during the first-half.

Raul Romero tucked the ball away from the spot in the second half to give Sutherland a 2-1 lead, but it wasn’t to be the match winner as McDonald stepped up to net his eleventh for the Wollongong and restore parity for the second and final time on the night.

Sutherland raced out of the blocks from the opening whistle as  Jermey Cox curled one toward goal in the 4th minute of play.

His shot snuck past the post after he broke away from the halfway line but Wolves keeper Justin Pasfield had it covered.

Harry Sutherland needed a last ditch tackle to thwart the progress of in-form Wolves’ striker Thomas James as he attempted to cut straight through the heart of the home defence at the other end.

What ensued was a tenacious midfield battle where neither was able to break the shackles and carve open a scoring opportunity.

However, that all changed in the 15th minute when Jordan Morfitis snuck in down the left and centred for Juan Romero to steal in at the near stick to nick into the net ahead of Pasfield giving Sutherland a 1-0 advantage.

Wolves responded well with pressuring the Blues however Juan Romero was able to unleash a rocket in the 24th minute that whistled just over the bar.

The visitors were still to register a shot on target but in the 34th minute they equalised through Djordjevic.

The central defender unleashed a stunning scorpion kick finish to restore parity and possibly win himself goal of the year honours.

The visitors finally sprang into life after a somewhat subdued first-half performance and mounted sustained pressure on the Sharks hitting the crossbar and forcing Sutherland into stoic defence.

Neither Sutherland or Wollongong’s coaches were too happy with their team’s performances in the opening stanza as they went into the sheds locked at 1-1.

As play resumed, Djordjevic turned from hero to villain when he brought down Cox in the box before Raul Romero fired home from the penalty spot to give Sutherland the lead for the second time in the match.

Wollongong’s James, 10-goals in his last seven outings, had Sharks’ stand-in keeper Mitchell Evans flying to his right to tip over from a free-kick on the edge of the box in the 61st minute.

His effort was followed up by Harry Callahan, who met a cross but skewed his effort wide on the volley.

Wollongong were playing catch-up for the second time in the match and were certainly creating the better chances.

A repeat free-kick from an identical position, after Tarik Ercan body checked Callahan, saw James this time go close before it going to McDonald who smashed it home.

From a corner Djordjevic stole in at the back stick and forced Evans into a reaction save however, dogged determination from the Sharks was keeping the wolf from the door.

The visitors were coming home with a strong tour de force.

Another free-kick, from the opposite side in the 85th minute, was again taken by James but was lifted over the woodwork.

An upbeat Luke Wilkshire praised his players resilience to fight their way back into the contest and secure a point.

“We knew it wouldn’t be easy, they’re fighting for points and it was like a cup final for them,” he said.

“They really gave it their all and gave it to us and we had to dig in, particularly in the first-half where I felt we were below par and Sutherland deserved to go ahead.

“In the final 30-mins’ we dug in and really went for the win and showed what we can do but there are no easy games in this league and we’ve conceded two goals and come back credit to the boys for their efforts.”

Sharks boss Terry Palapanis was delighted that his side held their own against the competition front runners but rued what might have been.

“I’m happy for the boys tonight, they put in a decent shift and I’d have taken a point before the game if offered,” Palapanis said.

“They are top of the league and have been outstanding so far so to get something from the game is tremendous but, I felt we could have taken all the points but for silly mistakes and cheap fouls at the back.

“The result could have gone either way and we know Wolves are good at set-pieces and they created a bit of danger for us, especially in the second-half.

“I’ll have a peaceful sleep tonight but not as deeply as it might have been.”

Stallions flex their muscles over hapless Sharks

By

Marconi Stallions showed their clinical edge as they put on a flowing attacking performance to beat a gallant Sutherland Sharks, 3-1 at Marconi Stadium on Easter Saturday in the only National Premier Leagues NSW match played.

The home side kept the attacking rolling after their five-star performance last weekend where they demolished neighbours Sydney United 58.

Mitch Mallia capped off a wonderful all-round performance with a second half strike, while Mirjian Pavlovic and Brandon Vella made it three straight for the Stallions.

Sutherland Sharks stunned the hosts and opened the scoring through Jeremy Cox after 23 minutes but from there, injuries ravaged them as the home side finished well on top.

From the opening moments, the Stallions flowed forward.

Pavlovic had the first shot after four minutes, as he was denied at the near post by Sharks ‘keeper Anthony Bouzanis as the home side looked to repeat last week’s dominance.

Mallia was a constant threat down the left, beguiling defenders all game. He combined well with Pavlovic and Anthony Frangie as the chances continued to pile up for the home side.

In the rare occasions when the Sharks got forward, the best work came from captain Marc Warren who set up the game’s first goal.

Warren whipped in a strong corner that Cox met at the far post to nod home and made it 1-0 to the Sharks. It was the former Sydney FC NPL player’s fourth of the campaign.

Looking to build on their lead, Sharks had a flurry of chances around the box, with the final ball falling to Warren at the edge of box, the defender curved the ball over as the game reached the half hour mark.

Pavlovic remained the outlet for the Stallions.

The striker linked up well for Giorgio Speranza, as he was denied, although the striker made amends moments later.

Stallions pressed well in the first half which created a few half chances, it also created the hosts opener.

The visitors did not clear the ball properly and it fell to the head of Pavlovic to head home, making it 1-1 going into half-time.

Coming out from the break, the Stallions kept their foot on the pedal.

Pavlovic fizzed an effort wide of the post before Frangie was denied by a terrific point-blank save from Bouzanis.

Frangie waged a battle with Bouzanis and his goal-frame.

He put a second header over before the striker volleyed an effort that rattled the crossbar after Pavlovic had turned well in the box.

The game continued to be played down the Sharks defensive end, as Giorgio Speranza’s first time effort flew over then Frangie, again, found the right place but headed the ball wide.

Marconi’s pressure paid dividends on the 70-minute mark.

Mallia, after his strong performance, got a deserved goal when he wound up a strike that flew into the net, 2-1 and it was all smiles for the Fairfield boys.

Sutherland aimed to strike back immediately through goal scorer Cox. He skipped past a defender, fizzed a low effort past the post, agonisingly.

Not content with a one-goal lead, Marconi kept pushing forward.

Both Mallia and substitute James Andrew had efforts saved by Sharks substitute keeper Mitchell Evans.

Brandon Vella confirmed the points into the first minute of injury time. He swept home the cutback to make it 3-1 Stallions, and three victories in a row.

Speaking afterwards, Sutherland Sharks coach Terry Palapanis was honest in his assessment of his teams performance.

“Tough game was an understatement tonight.

“We were outplayed for the first time this season and were second best to everything.

“They have a lot of quality across the park and that showed.

“Mitch Mallia destroyed us tonight. You can see they are playing for the coach. Now we have to regroup and go from here.”

Stallions coach Peter Tsekenis was delighted with the attack and the victory to keep their form rolling.

“It was a very good performance. We conceded against the run of play, rode our luck but got the goals we needed tonight.

“It is all clicking together currently. Pavlovic and Jesic have hit consistent form and it was good to get another result.

“We roll on from here now.”

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.”

Last gasp winner seals United 58 victory

By

 A 93rd minute winner from Tariq Maia has lifted Sydney United 58 to a dramatic last gasp 3-2 victory against Sutherland Sharks during their National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s clash at Seymour Shaw on Saturday night.

The talented midfielder delivered at the death with a clinical finish to give United 58 a return to winning ways.

It was Sutherland’s fourth straight defeat and was yet another frustrating result despite a strong performance for the boys from the Shire.

United 58’s Glen Trifiro scored twice but his efforts were cancelled out by goals to Jeremy Cox and a Raul Romero penalty for Sutherland.

However, it wasn’t enough to settle the tie as Maia netted at the second attempt in time added on.

A frenetic opening produced plenty of thrills and spills but little in the way of opportunity as both midfield’s jostled to gain the ascendancy in a must win or each.

Tarik Ercan, dallying on the edge of the area, lost the ball which was centred for Trifiro, unmarked in the box, to sweetly side-foot home to give the visitors the lead in the 11’ minute.

It was a gift for United and they accepted it gratefully leaving the Sharks chasing the game at an early stage.

The home side rallied and peppered the United box with crosses from the left that found no target until Juan Carlos Romero, robbing the ball on the right, fired in a shot Thomas Manos could only parry as far as Jeremy Cox whose rebound effort rippled the net to restore parity.

Manos produced a fine save from Raul Romero midway through the half as Sutherland attempted to turn their impetus into goals but again chances were sporadic and far between.

‘Tricky’ Trifiro produced a moment of sheer elegance in the 37th minute when spinning to turn the ball home for his, and United 58’s, second of the evening to restore the lead for the visitors.

With most play in the middle of the pitch in what was proving a tense encounter.

United looked to be taking a slender lead into the break until a stoppage time penalty to the Sharks saw Romero plant the ball past Manos the level the scores once more.

The decision incensed United as there appeared a hand-ball in the build up but the break was reached all square.

The visitors returned to the field still smarting after the break and took time to settle back into their rhythm.

A hopeful punt forward from Harry Sutherland found Cox on the left and his cross freed Romero on the edge of the area however, his shot was straight at Manos who gathered comfortably five minutes into the restart.

What ensued was tough and uncompromising, no quarter asked nor given with the only element lacking being goalmouth action.

It was entertaining but would take something special or a dramatic mistake to wrest the result.

Pat O’Shea attempted a long range shot that had Manos punching clear in the 78th minute but as the game looked to be petering out for a draw, up stepped Maia to net the points for United 58 at the second attempt after Anthony Bouzanis saved his first shot but the midfielder was able to head home on the rebound.

“It was a mistake really,” admitted Sharks coach Terry Palapanis at the whistle.

“There were some soft goals but at 2-all I thought we had them.

“A draw would have been a good result but we had chances to win the match but again we opted for the wrong decision.

“We cannot keep doing this week after week, we have to be more clinical in front of goal.

“There were a number of mistakes made tonight.”

While Sydney United 58 coach Miro Vlastelica praised his chargers persistence in scoring the winner.

“After we conceded the second goal we went into our shell a bit and needed to come out in the second-half adjusted.

“We adjusted well and we then pick up a couple of injuries which forced our substitutions and that unbalanced the formation a bit.

“Credit to the boys, they battled to the end in a game that could have gone either way and we’ve got the win.”

Both teams commence their FFA Cup runs next week with Sutherland Sharks traveling down South to face the Gerringong Breakers while United 58 tackle Gladesville Ryde Magic at Christie Park on Wednesday 10th April.
