For Sydney United 58, the match will be a chance to get their game back after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Rockdale City Suns last Saturday.

5 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW

Wollongong Wolves 1 – Sydney FC 1 at WIN Stadium Wollongong Wolves and Sydney FC played out an open and entertaining 1-1 draw at WIN Stadium on Saturday night. The goals hugged either side of the interval with Peter Simonoski opening the scoring for Wolves from the penalty spot late in the opening half. The equaliser came soon after the restart as Jeremy Cox tucked the ball into an open net to cap off a swift team goal for the Young Sky Blues. Both sides had chances to claim all three points, yet a draw was perhaps a fair result in an action packed match which kept the fans on the edge of their seats for the full ninety minutes.

Sydney United 58 0 – Rockdale City Suns 2 at Sydney United Sports Centre Rockdale City Suns’ incredible resurgence added another chapter on Saturday with an incredible 2-0 win against Sydney United 58 at Sydney United Sports Centre. It was an impressive performance from the Suns who took control of the match from the opening minute and never looked back to notch their third straight win. Brayden Sorge helped Rockdale off to the perfect start when he netted in the opening seconds of the match before an Alec Urosevski goal in the first moments of the second stanza wrapped up the result. The result moves the Suns well into reckoning for a top five position and finals football leaving their early season struggles as nothing more than an afterthought.

10 NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

ydney FC will aim to remain in the Spremiership hunt with a win over Sydney United 58 at Lambert Park this Saturday. The Sky Blues have been big improvers in the last fortnight, registering a pair of huge wins over title rivals Sutherland Sharks and Wollongong Wolves, and should be in buoyant mood for the visit of Sydney United 58. Giancarlo Italiano’s side have at times struggled to be ruthless this campaign, but the manner in which the Sky Blues have toppled their premiership contenders in the past two weeks suggests Sydney might be the real deal. But Sydney must avoid complacency when the Reds arrive at Lambert Park, who are now only three points away from re-entering the top five. United 58 have won three of their last four and after a horrible six-match winless run earlier in the season appear to be heading back in the right direction.
