It wasn’t Marconi’s night with injuries and missed chances costing the Stallions the game in what ended with the exact same scoreline as the famous 1990 NSL Grand Final between these two great clubs. Goals to Alejandro Sanchez-Lopez and Jason Madonis were the difference as Olympic’s impressive run of form continued. The defeat was Marconi’s second of the week with the newly promoted side desperate to break free of their early season struggles. Blacktown City FC 1 – Manly United 1 at Lily Homes Stadium Dylan Macallister rescued a point for Manly United in their round five clash with Blacktown City after striking an injury- time equalizer to claim a 1-1 draw at Lily’s Football Centre. The veteran striker arrived off the bench midway through the second half and fired home a scrappy 91st minute effort to earn the reigning champions a valuable point away from home. Blacktown looked set for their fourth win on the trot and fifth consecutive shutout after a brilliant first half opener from Mitch Mallia but were punished by Macallister at the death after failing to capitalize on a series of late chances. As a result Mark Crittenden’s side lose hold of the early competition lead with Sydney Olympic and APIA Leichhardt Tigers registering victories over Marconi Stallions and Rockdale City Suns in Saturday night’s other fixtures. 8 NPLNSW.COM.AU TEAM OF THE WEEK 01: LARGE USE: OVER 150MM WIDE This logo has a smaller ‘®’ symbol FOOTBALL NSW WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEIR SPONSORS FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT 02: SMALL USE: 55MM - 150MM WIDE This logo has a larger ‘®’ symbol 9 www.playbytherules.net.au As parents and spectators at sport we need to For your free toolkit go to: www.playbytherules.net.au "When someone from the sideline hurls abuse - these are the moments that make sport painful for so many kids.
