Sydney FC fall to late Manly United equaliser

By

Manly United have kept its Finals Series hopes alive and kicking thanks to a 94th minute equaliser via experienced campaigner Scott Balderson as Adam Griffiths’ side secured a point in its dramatic 2-2 draw against a resilient Sydney FC outfit at the Ilinden Sports Centre to close off round 17 of the NPL NSW Men’s competition.

Manly United, a side flying high in third position on the ladder, were hoping for three wins in a row but were thwarted by Sydney FC in an exciting 2-2 draw.

The first real shot in anger arrived in the 26th minute after both sides knocked the ball around from side-to-side but without any real penetration. It was Finn Ashton who found Richie Cardozo in the box but he fluffed his lines and the ball went wide.

Sydney FC replied almost immediately when a poor clearance by goalkeeper Jacob Madden was intercepted by Jake Girdwood-Reich who beautifully fed the ball to Adrian Segecic, but his powerful shot was then well saved by goalkeeper Madden who atoned for his action. Madden made his first official start for Manly United after coming on for Sam Benton who went off injured last week.

In the 30th minute Luca Kmet shot powerfully for the visitors, but the ball was deflected, and a corner followed.

After surviving that close call at their own end, it was Sydney FC that took the lead a minute later.

The ball moved up field and a shot from the left by Clayton Taylor towards goal was deflected straight into the path of Corey Hollman who, from close range and unmarked, slotted the ball home.

The home side almost made two shortly afterwards in the 37th minute when a long drifting ball from the left reached Cameron Fong on the right, but he shot straight at the visiting ‘keeper when really he should have done a lot better with his chance.

Just prior to the break, Manly United almost equalised when Kmet showed some dazzling skill on the edge of the box before firing straight at keeper Levi Kaye.

The second half started at a lively pace with both teams playing some exciting attacking football and it was only a matter of time before a successful breakthrough would arrive.

And that breakthrough belonged to Sydney FC in the 54th minute when a true thunderbolt from over 25 metres by Girdwood-Reich was driven with such vigour that it was never going to miss the intended target of the back of the net from the moment it left his boot. A goal that will almost certainly enter the end of season highlights reel, Girdwood-Reich proved to be one tricky customers as Manly failed to handle the talented youngster.

Manly United struck back though with a goal to experienced marksman Dejan Pandurevic in the 61st minute. A corner seemed to avoid all and sundry except the captain of the visitors who met the ball with a diving header from close range to score.

In the 68th minute a volley from outside the box by Dom Ferguson for the visitors brought out a world-class save from Levi Kaye who somehow miraculously turned the ball around the post for a corner with an outstretched hand. It could have been 2-2 there and then.

In the 78th minute Ferguson was again dangerous for the visitors when he drilled a loose ball towards goal, only to see Kaye once again rise to the occasion and make a great save.

Well into stoppage time though Manly United did equalise. A Kieren Paull shot somehow was cleared off the line and deflected for a corner. From the ensuing corner a spectacular volley by Balderson equalised the ledger for the visitors.

After the game Sydney FC coach Jim Van Weeren was unhappy to have been thwarted two weeks in arrow well into stoppage time as his young Sky Blues failed to capitalise on the three points.

“It’s just not good enough to be honest.

“At 2-1 up we need to be able to see that game out.

“We can say it every week that it is learning moments but at some stage we do need to learn. It’s about the fifth or sixth time this year that we have thrown maximum points away.”

His counterpart Adam Griffiths was pleased that side fought back from a 0-2 deficit.

“Sydney FC are very good in transition, and we played into their hands initially,” he said. “We had a really strong week with the FFA Cup in the middle and the type of work rate that I expect from my team is quite high, so we made some changes at halftime to get some more energy back into the team.

“We kept pushing for a result.

“We were never defeated in that game because we kept the pressure up and we put our players in a position to score.”

Young Bulls stall Sydney United 58’s Premiership hopes

By

Sydney United 58’s Premiership hopes have taken a major hit after they were held to a 1-1 draw with Northbridge Bulls at Edensor Park on Sunday.

It was a heartbreaking result for United 58 who drop to four points behind league leaders Blacktown City with only five games left in the regular season.

The NPL NSW Men’s current Golden Boot frontrunner Patrick Antelmi opened the scoring for United in the 36th minute but the Bulls finished strongly with Moudi Najjar netting a 76th-minute equaliser on what was his 21st birthday.

United 58 had plenty of chances to snatch a winner but they couldn’t get it done having to settle for a costly draw.

The visitors dominated the opening period, putting their classy football on full display.

United’s first chance came in the opening minutes of the game as Antelmi cut in a picture-perfect ball to Devante Clut at the edge of the box. His effort was sensationally headered away from the goal by Brodie Clarkson.

Danijel Nizic almost found himself in the assist column after his powerful kick sent Chris Payne through on goal, Payne selflessly passed it off the Antelmi who fluffed his golden chance, sending it well over the bar.

Antelmi swiftly recovered from his miss in the 36th minute after he neatly buried his shot past an oncoming Ryan Wood for his side’s opener recording his 14th goal of the year.

The Bulls were on the back foot for the majority of the half, however, they began to find their feet towards the end of the first.

Their closest chance came through Bul Jauch after an excellent cross from Yianni Nicoloau picked out the imposing striker, his forceful header smashed against the bar and was cleared from danger.

United 58 started the second half the way they finished the first, looking the likelier for a goal.

Jordan Roberts impressed down the right side for United all game.  His rapid through ball to Antelmi sent him in on goal, his shot looked destined to repeat his efforts of the first half but was denied by a world-class save from Wood.

Northbridge was a much more motivated side in the second half, going toe to toe with the tough United outfit.

Northbridge’s skipper Rory Jordan came closest with his effort after a perfect ball from Juach picked him out at the edge of the area, his shot was denied by a desperate United defence, eager to keep their clean sheet.

Antelmi came within inches of his second moments later, as Jackson Khoury played a dangerous cross into the area. The free-scoring striker’s header was denied by the in-form Wood, keeping his side’s hopes alive.

Northbridge was rewarded with their equaliser in the 76th minute after a defiant run from Nikola Ujdur picked an oncoming Najjar, he weaved his way through the defence and on towards the goal for his side’s first of the evening.

United was longing to regain their lead late in the game and had their chances to do so.

Antelmi found Glen Trifiro making a tantalising run in between the Bulls defence, through on goal Trifiro had a one-on-one with Wood, his efforts however only went as far as the side netting.

With one final chance of the game, Roberts curled a powerful effort towards goal and found the head of Antelmi, the league’s top scorer couldn’t finish his chance seeing his effort sail over the bar as the sides were forced to settle for the draw.

Sydney United 58 will view this as a huge slip-up and one that could see Blacktown City run away with first place after their late win over Sutherland.

Sydney United 58 coach Tomi Vidovic was encouraged by his side’s creativity and was hopeful about their chances going forward.

“It was a performance that had everything we wanted aside from more goals, it’s just simple as that.

“The positive is that we’re creating them, and we take that positivity through to the remaining games because these guys are quality players and eventually they’ll go in, so we look at it from that perspective”.

Northbridge Bulls coach Mile Sterjovski credited the United attack and was proud of his side’s turnaround.

“We were very lucky to have only been one goal down at halftime. United was very good so credit to them, but we turned things around in the second half and created a lot more chances.

“In the end and we could have had another two or three so I’m proud of the boys to come back in the second half.”

APIA thwarted by late Urosevski strike

By

Rockdale Ilinden FC has returned to winning ways after securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over APIA Leichardt at Lambert Park on Sunday afternoon.

A missed penalty from APIA skipper Sean Symons just moments before halftime haunted the home side as an 87th-minute goal from Alec Urosevski earned the visitors a crucial three points away from home.

It was a tense match between the two sides as they battled for an important three points in the closing stages of the NPL New South Wales Men’s competition.

While both sides enjoyed their share of chances in the opening stages of the first stanza, a penalty just before the break was the defining moment of the first 45.

Referee Kurt Ams pointed to the spot in the 46th minute as APIA Leichardt’s Sam McIlhatton was pulled down in the area.

Sean Symons stepped up to take the penalty for the home side, but Rockdale’s custodian David Bradasevic managed to read the penalty well and palmed Symons’ shot.

Bradasevic’s expert save fell back to the feet of Symons, who fumbled over it before releasing a second effort, which was cleared by Rockdale’s defensive line leaving the score at 0-0 at the half-time break much to the dismay of the local APIA supporters who braved the cold and rainy conditions in Sydney’s Inner West.

The defensive stability of both teams was tested in the second stanza, with both keepers managing some quality saves to keep the game goalless.

Tomoki Wada looked poised to take the lead for Rockdale in the 73rd minute, however, his effort was stopped by Ivan Necevski.

Urosevski managed to get on the end of Necevski’s save, but his strike soared high over the crossbar.

The visitors continued to mount pressure on the home side, with their efforts paying off in the 87th minute.

Antoniou played a ball to Urosevski in a dangerous position in front of goal, and the striker clinically finished, sending his shot past Necevski to score the first and only goal of the match.

APIA Leichardt continued to push for an equaliser in the final stages of the game, however it wouldn’t come to fruition, with the game finishing 1-0 to the visitors.

Rockdale coach Steve Zoric was pleased his team was able to execute their game plan and take three points from the match.

“I felt like it was a tight game,” he explained.

“Probably a goal that we deserved in the end, I would say.”

“It’s been a tough time for us, so we’ve just got to now carry on.”

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get the results in the FFA Cup but it came to fruition tonight and I just hope that we can continue that now going forward.”

APIA Leichardt Coach Paul Dee praised his team’s effort despite the result.

“I think our guys did well to put a lot of pressure on and hold good field position and create chances,” he said.

“I think we play a high tempo, and we are aggressive in our press, and we roll up and try and dominate teams in their half, so I just want to maintain the effort.

“We’ve got the Waratah Cup, we’ve got the FFA Cup, and we’ll keep going whilst we’re still a chance in the league and try to get as many points as we can.”

APIA will take on the Wollongong Wolves this coming Wednesday at Macedonia Park in the Waratah Cup Elimination Final at 7:30pm with the winner to host Mt Druitt Town Rangers in the Semi-Final. The match will be shown Live on Football NSW’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

Rangers frustrate Olympic with precious win at Belmore

By

Mt Druitt Town Rangers have kept their NPL NSW Men’s finals hopes alive with a narrow 1-0 win against Sydney Olympic at Belmore Sports Ground on Sunday.

A first half strike from Rangers’ prolific marksman and former Olympic ace Jack Stewart was all it took as the Rangers claimed a vital three points following on from securing a round of 32 spot in this year’s FFA Cup after defeating Rockdale Ilinden in midweek.

It was a frustrating performance from Olympic who never found their stride during the contest.

The win keeps Mt Druitt in contention for finals football closing the gap to the top five.

It was the visitors who made the early running, Olympic finding themselves under the pump and struggling to get out of their own half including an early punched clearance from keeper Nicholas Sorras.

Marc Warren, back in the Rangers’ starting eleven after serving a one-match ban for a red card in the aforementioned match, was pivotal in breaking up the Olympic attacks through a congested midfield.

Olympic kept their shape to weather the early storm with only a long-range effort from Portuguese star Fabio Ferriera to show for their endeavour.

A succession of corners for the home side had the Rangers defence scrambling to clear.

Ferriera broke down the right and centred for Mohamed Adam but the striker couldn’t connect cleanly in the greasy conditions and sent his shot wide of the goal.

Brendan Cholakian was no closer when sending a free-kick high over the bar shortly after.

Neither keeper had been tested midway through the opening half, both defences standing strong when called upon and neither side able to find the telling pass when required in a free flowing but tense encounter.

Ferriera again utilised trickery to create an opening for a cross that Cholakian headed into the waiting arms of Rangers’ ‘keeper Carlos Saliadarre.

It was talisman Stewart who opened the scoring for the visitors in the 38th minute after fashioning an opportunity and striking a low shot into the net.

It was the moment of individual brilliance the game was crying out for to spark it into life as the former Blues striker celebrated his ninth goal of the NPL NSW Men’s campaign.

Olympic doubled their efforts however, a buoyed Rangers side piled on the pressure and a Tarik Elrich header was gratefully grabbed by Sorras as another attack was broken up by a teetering Olympic defensive unit.

There was no addition before the interval that saw Rangers halfway to completing an impressive away victory and on the balance of play it was a deserved lead.

Kamada found space down the right flank and sent over a cross that Mitchell Smith could only cushion his header into the arms of Sorras as Rangers, not sitting on their laurels, looked to increase their lead and put the result beyond any doubt in a show of their intent.

Olympic’s recent ‘Super Sub’ hero Yu Hasegawa replaced Oliver Puflett as coach Ante Juric looked to change the point of attack and open up options for his Olympic side in the 53rd minute and it almost paid dividends but for a desperate last ditch tackle to deny Cholakian once more.

With renewed vigour the home side mounted a concerted flurry of attacks yet still were unable to pick the lock.

Cholakian found himself through one-on-one with Saliadarre but the giant frame of the gloveman proved unbeatable as he pulled off a point black save against the onrushing striker in what was Olympics best opportunity of the match.

Rangers were not to be denied the points leaving coach Stewart Montgomery overjoyed with his side’s commitment.

“It was a real team performance today in what a six-pointer for both sides,” he said.

“If we didn’t win today all our focus would be on the FFA and Waratah Cups but we are not just a cup side and it’s not what we are about.

“We dominated in the first-half and played some really good football. We can put a lot of that down to the experience of Marc Warren today. His communication and talking on the pitch was just what was needed.”

Sydney Olympic coach Ante Juric rued a frustrating outing for his side.

“Mt Druitt played well, particularly in defence. They bunkered in well today and we were poor to be honest,” Juric said.

“We didn’t hit our passes nor take the few opportunities we did create. We’re disappointed in a lot of ways with the result particularly in the way our attacks were breaking down before we reached the front third.

“We are there or there about in the top five and we still have a lot to play for this season with the FFA Cup so we are doing well in many ways and will look to fight hard until the end of the season.”

Major stunner breaks Sharks hearts

By

A late Travis Major stunner has helped Blacktown City FC to a 3-2 victory against a resilient Sutherland Sharks at Lily’s Football Centre on Sunday.

The hosts were in cruise control, leading 2-0 at the break after goals to Travis Major and Jackson Bandiera had them on course to extend their lead at the top.

But Sutherland refused to quit with a peter Simonoski brace levelling the scores heading into the final moments of the match.

With the game headed for a draw, Major delivered a cruel blow to the Sharks as he curled in a dramatic late winner that keeps Blacktown on top of the table for another week after Sydney United 58 dropped further points with its 1-1 draw against Northbridge Bulls.

Blacktown City FC worked their way into the contest and started to find joy down the flanks. The hosts found the back of the net in first through. The striker poked home after Carlos De Oliveira was repelled twice to make it 1-0.

Surging forward after the opener, Blacktown City dominated possession in the latter stages of the first half. Mario Shabow surged down the right before he cushioned a pass right into the path of De Oliveira to deflect over.

Just after the half-hour mark, Blacktown doubled their advantage. Another strong run on the right side created a deflection which popped up for Bandiera to nod home.

Needing a response, Sutherland tried to push forward. They had one final chance before half-time but last week’s match-winner Oliver Green put his headed right at Blacktown City FC custodian Tristan Prendergast.

The Sharks found some bite just before the hour mark. Sutherland pulled one back through Simonoski who nodded home after the ball fell to the striker, making it 2-1 with just over 30 minutes to play.

Both sides were pushing forward to find the next goal. Sutherland Sharks had a golden chance when Charlie Jones weaved through the defence before he found James Andrew who swept the ball right at Prendergast.

Sutherland Sharks were brighter in the second half and they got themselves a second goal through Simonoski. The corner was flighted to the far stick, headed against the post then Simonoski lashed home for 2-2.

Feeling the energy shifting, Sharks went close again on the counter. It was started by substitute Alex Masciovecchio who threaded a pass for Sharks top goal scorer Andrew to run onto but the striker arrowed wide.

Time slowly ticked away, as both teams looked for the winner. Sharks pushed forward with a set-piece which saw defender Brendan Hooper flick wide. There was one final twist left in the tail of this contest this afternoon.

Blacktown City FC had one final chance to take all three points. Bandiera roamed free on the left, cut the ball back to Major. The experienced striker curved the ball home, making it 3-2 to the home side and sent the home crowd delirious.

It was Major’s twelfth goal of the NPL NSW Men’s campaign as one of the league’s most deadliest marksman continued his stunning form for his beloved club.

Speaking post-match, Blacktown City FC coach Mark Crittenden celebrated his side’s performance despite allowing the Sharks back into the game.

“I am very happy to get the three points. I thought we had enough chances to win the contest before they came back into the game.

“We don’t worry about the ladder but only the football we’re playing. It wasn’t good enough to concede off a set-piece but it was one of those days however we will celebrate those three points.”

For Sutherland Sharks coach Nick Dimovski, there was plenty of positives to take from tonight despite losing the game.

“I’m proud of the boys’ effort tonight. They fought back well, got it back to 2-2 then copped one late which happens in football.

“It is a positive changeroom there, we can take a lot from that game. We pushed a good side in Blacktown City FC and performed strongly.”
