7 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

Hakoah Sydney City East 2 – Sydney Olympic 2 at Hensley Athletic Field Sydney Olympic’s Max Burgess broke Hakoah Sydney City East hearts firing home deep in injury time to snatch a 2-2 at Hensley Athletic Field on Saturday. A quick-fire double from Hakoah winger Anthony Frangie looked to have given all three points to the home side, but they were unable to deny the league leaders from claiming a point. Olympic were at their electric best during the first half. Alejandro Sanchez Lopez outpaced his defender before he slotted home after 15 minutes. The visitors could’ve piled on the score albeit for their wastefulness in front of goal. It was a completely different story in the second half as Olympic’s performance tailed off in the second stanza and Hakoah took advantage with Frangie’s double seemingly enough for Gavin Rae’s side enough to claim a shock upset. However, it wasn’t to be for Hakoah as Burgess struck in the 95th minute to ensure Olympic didn’t go home empty handed.

Manly United FC 2 – Marconi Stallions 3 at Marconi Stallions held off a fast finishing Manly United to snatch all three points with a 3-2 win at Cromer Park on Saturday night. There were goals galore in an absorbing contest, which left both sides with a strong case for deserving the win. The teams headed into the break level after goals from James Andrew and Nikola Taneski highlighted an intense first stanza. The second half saw a calamitous own goal and precise Marko Jesic set piece prove the difference for the Stallions, ensuring Dylan Macallister’s late strike was pure consolation. In the end it was a highly contested, but valuable, three points for the visitors as the race for finals positions intensifies.

12 NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

arconi Stallions need to beat Sydney MOlympic at Lambert Park on Saturday evening to keep their chances of a top five finish alive. The Stallions appear to have turned a corner over the past month and are unbeaten in their last three matches, including a 1-1 draw with in-form Manly United last weekend. Although Marconi still have eight points to make up with six matches of the season remaining, they are a side who are entering their best form at the right time of the season. The same cannot be said for Sydney Olympic unfortunately, who slumped to a ninth league defeat against Hakoah Sydney City East last Saturday. Since registering a shock 2-1 win over leaders Sutherland in round nine, the Blues have failed to turn their season around on that victory and have only picked up a two points since. Olympic have also been held scoreless in their last three fixtures, giving opponents Marconi a great chance of continuing their good form unless they can muster a strong performance.
