5 MATCH REVIEWS #NPLNSW
Sutherland Sharks 0 – Sydney United 58 3 at Seymour Shaw Sydney United 58 overcame Sutherland Sharks by a 3-0 scoreline in a scintillating clash at Seymour Shaw on Saturday evening. The match was riddled with audacious shots, brilliant goalkeeping, tricks, flicks, and a spot of controversy in what was a highly entertaining affair for the healthy crowd of spectators in attendance. Patrick Antelmi opened the scoring for the visitors late in the first half before a Chris Payne spot kick and yet another goal from the in-form Pani Nikas put the game beyond doubt in the second half. The triumph was United’s third in a single week with their midweek FFA Cup win sandwiched in between last weekend’s victory over the Young Sky Blues and tonight’s clash. Jason Culina’s well-drilled side got the job done once again on the night while Grant Lee’s boys can hold their heads high after well and truly keeping themselves in the match before a late capitulation put the match beyond their reach.
Hakoah Sydney City East 1 – Wollongong Wolves 2 at Hensley Athletic Field A Peter Simonoski strike in the final minute has given Wollongong Wolves a dramatic 2-1 win against Hakoah Sydney City East at Hensley Athletic Field on Sunday. It was an incredible ending to the match with the Wolves seemingly destined to settle for a draw after surviving a late Hakoah flurry. After taking the lead in the 5th minute through Simonoski, Wollongong were forced on the back foot for nearly 60 minutes as the home side pushed hard for an equaliser. When Harry Jones struck for Hakoah in the 79th minute the match, Jacob Timpano’s side looked out on their feet but Simonoski was ready to take his chance and fired past the keeper for his second of the match and more importantly the match winner.

ANTELMI FLOURISHING AT UNITED 58
Wherever striker Patrick Antelmi goes, goals tend to follow, and Sydney United 58 are witnessing this first hand as their exciting signing finds form with his new club. The 24-year-old is evidently adapting to life at United 58 with three goals in his last three NPL NSW Men’s appearances. His output coincides with a trio of back-to- back victories, rapidly surging United 58 up the table to brush aside a slow start to their 2018 campaign. “The first two games the results obviously didn’t go for us,” said Antelmi. “When we looked at the games we were pretty much all over Marconi Stallions and Blacktown City but shot ourselves in the foot with two slip- ups. interesting battle so I’m looking forward to this “We were quite calm in the sense that we know weekend.” what we have and that we are contenders, so we weren’t too phased by it all.

ydney United 58 are hoping to bounce back Sfrom their first defeat of the campaign at home to Wollongong Wolves at Sydney United Sports Centre on Saturday night. The Reds were defeated 2-1 by Sutherland Sharks in round five’s top of the table contest at Seymour Shaw after a near flawless start of the year and will look to get things back on track when the Wolves arrive in Edensor Park. United 58 frontman Kyle Cimenti represents the principle goal threat for the travelling Wolves who after two wins to open the campaign slumped to their third loss on the bounce against Hakoah last Sunday. Despite the defeat it’s been a good start to the year for Wollongong who are in sixth and have had a fairly daunting fixture list in the season’s opening month. The likes of Tory Musumeci, who claimed a brace last weekend, and Jordan Nikolovski are capable of causing damage in the final third and will be an attacking pair for the Reds to watch out for.
