5 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

Manly United 1 – Sydney Olympic 2 at Cromer Park Sydney Olympic snatched all three points late against a gallant Manly United in a 2-1 victory at Cromer Park on Saturday night. The sides were separated by an 87th minute winner from Max Burgess. The competition frontrunners had been quick off the blocks, taking the lead through Radovan Pavicevic inside ten minutes. However while it initially appeared that Olympic would comfortably dictate proceedings, Manly struck back in the 28th minute through Sam Wilson. Both sides experienced periods of dominance throughout the second half, however the visitors’ class eventually shone through, as they punished a wasteful Manly performance.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 0 – Marconi Stallions 1 at Lambert Park An inspired Marconi Stallions have stunned APIA Leichhardt Tigers 1-0 in a fiery contest at Lambert Park on Sunday. A poachers finish from Stallions striker Marko Jesic was the difference in a thrilling contest which went right down to the final seconds. APIA held out wave after wave of Marconi attacks in the first half before Jesic found pay dirt early in the second stanza after keeper Ivan Necevski palmed the ball to the feet of the Stallions number nine. The Tigers threw everything forward hoping to nab an equaliser but it wasn’t to be as Marconi clung on for a huge morale boosting win against their historic rivals.

10 NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

anly United entertain a resurgent Marconi MStallions outfit at Cromer Park this Saturday looking to continue their excellent recent form. Adam Griffith’s side have won four of their last six matches, including a superb 4-0 rout of Sydney Olympic last weekend – and are only four points outside the top five. It’s been a commendable recovery for Manly after a stuttering start to the season, and has largely been underpinned by defensive improvement with the Cromer Park outfit leaking just three goals in their last six. Manly’s form will make for a finely poised encounter against the Stallions, who will be riding high after a fantastic 3-1 victory over APIA Leichhardt last Sunday. It’s now two wins on the trot for Nahuel Arrarte’s men, who will be hugely motivated for the clash knowing they can overtake their opponents on the ladder with a win.
