A Jewook Woo strike on the cusp of halftime ensured Brian Brown’s side avoided a second straight defeat after Marko Jesic gave Marconi the lead from the penalty spot only six minutes into the match. Unlike their first round victory, Marconi’s early advantage wasn’t enough to make it two wins from as many games as Bonnyrigg found their form in the later stages of the clash. Bonnyrigg will be disappointed to have not found a winner after a dominant second 45 minutes but late heroics from Marconi’s shot stopper Nenad Vekic kept the scoreline locked at the final whistle. APIA Leichhardt Tigers 2 v – Sydney Olympic FC 0 at Lambert Park APIA Leichhardt has continued it’s flawless start to the season with a 2-0 win against Sydney Olympic at Lambert Park on Sunday. A first half George Howard penalty broke the deadlock and Sean Symons doubled the score in the second stanza as the home side claimed all three points despite stifling heat against a tough Sydney Olympic outfit. The win was APIA’s first home win of the season and builds on their opening round victory against Manly United. For Sydney Olympic the result was a reality check after their opening week win but coach Abbas Saad will be able to take away plenty of positives from a performance which could’ve been very different if his side had more luck in front of goal. 6 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 7 keep our game beautiful INTEGRITY IN SPORT Football NSW and the National Premier Leagues NSW are bound by Football Federation Australia’s NATIONAL CODE OF CONDUCT and NATIONAL ANTI-DOPING POLICY.
