strong defensive display helped Parramatta AFC nab a point against Blacktown City and they’ll need a similar showing this week when they host the high-flying APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC.

Led by Ibrahim Haydar and Tomislav Mijic, Parramatta’s defence has shown it can be a resilient and difficult to break down unit.

While they have been undone by ill-discipline, the Melita Stadium based side could prove to be a thorn in the side of high flying APIA.

APIA further proved its premiership credentials with a comprehensive 3-0 win against Sydney FC and go from strength to strength each week.

Parramatta named a youthful line-up during their midweek clash with Rockdale, but coach Franco Consentino should have his experienced starters all back for this match.

Blacktown City FC 2 - Parramatta FC 2 at Lily’s Football Centre Parramatta FC has secured a hard-earned PlayStation®4 NSW Men’s competition point with a 2-2 draw against Blacktown City at Lily’s Football Centre. The visitors clung on for the draw after captain Ibrahim Haydar headed an equaliser only minutes into the second half. It was a frustrating result for Blacktown who fought back after conceding an early goal to Jordan Crighton thanks to strikes from Joey Gibbs and James Andrew. Although Mark Cittenden’s side would have preferred to have gone home with a win, the result means Blacktown hold onto their unbeaten start to the season.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 3 - Sydney FC 0 at Lambert Park APIA Leichhardt Tigers has returned to the winners circle with a comprehensive 3-0 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition win against Sydney FC at Lambert Park. In a match of end to end action, APIA looked in control for almost the whole 90 minutes with goals to Tasuku Sekiya, Sean Symons and Matthew West securing the result and all three points. It was a tough day at the office for Sydney FC who could not make the most of their expansive play and never truly looked threatening. The result gives APIA five wins from six starts and has the side firming as one of the PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition favourites.

10 UNDER 20s NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH

PIA Leichhardt Tigers travel to Melita AStadium on Saturday afternoon, where they will meet a Parramatta FC side fresh from a 2-1 defeat to Blacktown City in round 6. Parramatta’s latest result means they enter round 7 in ninth place on the ladder, level with APIA but one place behind due to an inferior goal difference. The visitors, meanwhile, come into this match after a 2-2 draw against Sydney FC in the last round, with goals from Jordan Morfitis and Dominion Nasrabadi helping APIA to a valuable point against one of the competition favourites. Parramatta won this fixture 3-0 when APIA visited Melita Stadium in 2016, and will be hopeful of a similar result despite an indifferent run of results this season to date.
