5 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

Marconi Stallions 2 – Manly United FC 4 at Marconi Stadium Manly United FC showed their championship spirit fighting back twice to claim a 4-2 victory against Marconi Stallions on Saturday at Marconi Stadium. In a highly entertaining first half, Marconi Stallions led twice. Firstly through a Marko Jesic penalty then a sublime piece of skill from former Wanderer Matteo Poljak. Twice though, they were pegged back by Manly United as Brendan Cholakian and Travis Oughtred sent both teams to the break 2-2. After the break Manly United underlined their club spirit to ‘never give up’ as they struck two decisive blows from Nikola Tanevski and Kye Conna to finally get themselves off both off the bottom of the ladder and the duck egg. Peter Tsekenis lamented some regrettable errors that cruelled the Stallions in the second half as they now have to pick themselves up for a mid- week catch up against APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC.

Sydney Olympic 2 – Hakoah Sydney City East 1 at Belmore Sports Ground Sydney Olympic fought their way to a hard earned 2-1 victory over Hakoah Sydney City East at Belmore Sports ground on Good Friday. All three of the afternoon’s goals came as a result of set pieces with George Timotheou and Alejandro Sanchez-Lopez scoring either side of Oliver Green’s equaliser to give Olympic their third consecutive home win of the season. Play was often scrappy throughout the match as the bobbly pitch made it difficult for both sides to generate continuity and create chances, allowing dead ball situations to take centre stage and inevitably decide the result. With the win, Olympic continues their bright start to their 2018 National Premier Leagues NSW campaign with three victories from their opening four matches

arconi Stallions and Sydney Olympic have Mendured stop start openings to the new campaign so far but both will be eyeing two wins a row on Saturday afternoon at Marconi Stadium. The Stallions got their season up and running thanks to a 2-1 win over Manly United last weekend which saw James Andrew and Martin Fernandez get on the scoresheet. It could spell trouble for Olympic if the former Blacktown City speedster features against the Blues on the weekend however the visitors should be buoyed by an excellent 3-0 win over Hakoah Sydney City East in round four. Olympic largely had Radovan Pavicevic to thank for breaking their 2018 duck after contributing a brace against Hakoah while a first clean sheet of the season will bolster the visitors’ confidence against menacing attacking potential in Brandon Stojcevski and Martin Lo.
