LATEST NEWSROUND 25 REVIEW
A game the team needed to win to secure a spot in the finals, however in a tight tussle both teams walked away with a draw.
Spartans got ahead early in the game and will be kicking themselves they didn’t make good on their chances and spoil the Lions finals quest. Spartans grabbed the lead midway through the first half in bizarre fashion when a deflected Lions clearance played in one of the Spartans players who made no mistake and put his shot past the keeper. The remainder of the first half played out dull in comparison to what would occur when the players returned to the field after the break. Rydalmere came out with a clear intent to press on in attack but all the chances they created were stopped well by the keeper. It seemed the Lions luck was about to change when Spartans were reduced to 10 men. With the numbers advantage they kept peppering the Spartans defence but to no avail. Spartans were holding out the Lions well and when the Lions had a man sent off to even the numbers at 10 v 10, it seemed they would be able to grab themselves a win. Unfortunately for Spartans, the even numbers on the park worked in favour for the Lions who eventually scored through Fofanah with less the 10 minutes to go. In the last minutes of the game both sides were given chances to grab the win. Rydalmere were awarded a gift in the shape of a stoppage time penalty which was sent wide of the target then at the other end of the park, Spartans forced a great diving save from Sinpraseuth and the result wrapped up in a stalemate. The team now need to beat the Northern Tigers and hope results go their way to secure a place in the finals. Our Youth and Men's teams are both at home this week taking o n Sydney United FC and Saturday 25 August and Northern Tigers FC on Sunday 26 August respectively.
