Events

Match Events

  • 0' Western United FC have kicked off against Macarthur FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Western United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Western United FC and Macarthur FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 26' Alex Susnjar picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 31' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Mark Milligan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' The travelling Macarthur FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 41' Antony Golec, a Australia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 54' Magnificent from Dylan Pierias! That is 17 goals in 208 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 58' Another substitution for Macarthur FC to replace James Meredith by Antony Golec on 58 minute.
  • 63' The home supporters are growing impatient. Western United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 66' GOAL! Besart Berisha fires home to make it 4-0!
  • 68' That is a Yellow card for Macarthur FC. Susaeta will be fuming at that decision.
  • 73' Macarthur FC make a change. Aleksandar Jovanovic trudges off to be replaced by Jake Hollmann on 73 minutes.
  • 74' Poor challenge from Jake Hollmann. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 74' Western United FC ring the changes. Steven Lustica has done his job and it is now time for Jerry Skotadis to step up.
  • 79' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 79 minutes.
  • 81' The crowd applauds Iker Guarrotxena as he leaves the pitch. Nicolas Milanovic steps in for Western United FC.
  • 82' Western United FC make a change. Connor Pain trudges off to be replaced by Ivan Vujica on 82 minutes.
  • 87' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 90' The whistle greets Alessandro Diamanti as he departs to be replaced by Luke Duzel.
