Australia Cup - Other Australian games

Kiwi Kingsley Sinclair puts Oakleigh 1-0 up over Sydney!

Ends up a convincing 3-1 cupset by Oakleigh. Sydney missing Lolley, Caceres, and Burgess with Talay's new German/Moroccan import, Anas Ouahim converting a penalty.

Kiwis to the fore for Oakleigh tonight to get the job done.

Kingsley's goal to start things off.

It took @oakcannonsfc 6 minutes in 2022, this time it was 14! 👀

Emlyn Wellsmore with a peach to seal it.

Nutmeg a defender and score to go 3-1 up? Now that's the #MagicOfTheCup 🥶

Wellsmore with a beautiful solo effort and another cupset is on the cards for @oakcannonsfc over Sydney FC 👀

Nicely taken goal by Wellsmore. Still only 24.

Him & Kingsley Sinclair played together in the 2017 U17 WC (India) for NZ.
Alongside Libby, Just & Max Mata among others.

Always thought it strange we have never brought Wellsmore over to have a look at.

Oakleigh were paying surprisingly good money given the high chance of the Cupset.

Macarthur got a come from behind 1-2 win. Didn't see any reactions to that on my Twitter feed yet.

17yr old Ricky Fransen on the bench for WSW tonight - chance to make his first tea debut.

Soccerway shows him as Australian born. If true that would make him a non visa player for any ALM club??

I wanna laugh at Sydney but we're missing like half our starting 11 from last season, multiple of who were key player, so now I'm just nervous.

SM lead the VIC NPL, Oakleigh sit 4th

Yeah. So not just us who probably should have had a look. He came thru the Roar at a time they weren't blooding many youngsters iirc (Aloisi Era possibly).

Four more games tonight.

10:30pm - Perth Redstar v Lions FC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM4F0b1HSlA

Rochdale are #1 in the NSW NPL, wonder if they can pull off another Cupset? Jets have been in pre-season longer than Sydney and probably have a near full strength squad available tho.

Feel like we'll get a cupset with Blacktown city vs Adelaide United since Adelaide are missing their 2 biggest attacking forces in Hiroshi and Irankunda. Will probably be catching that game unless the RBB turn up in force to Brisbane. I like loud games more than anything.

Adelaide putting out a strong line up, I would avoid that game if I was betting on cupsets.

Your XI to play Blacktown City in the #AustraliaCup is in 👊#MagicOfTheCup pic.twitter.com/I3SIkR8WzQ

Taggart comes on at HT and scores with his first touch. 2-1 after 47 mins

Disaster at the back for the Glory. 2-2

Nabbout puts City ahead 2-3

3-4! Should be a good last 15 mins

missed the first 6 because of the deadpool movie were the goals good?

4-4!!

Blair seals it in the 115th minute? 5-4

What a way to end a Saturday night!

Where was Nico? I can't see anything about him now.

They will draw the Rnd of 16, Quarter Finals & Semi Finals match ups tonight after the final game finishes. That way teams will know their path to the Final.

Heidelberg up 1-0 at Halftime against CCM. Debatable pen. did he or didn't he make contact??

1-1, deflected shot

1-1 at Full Time. Extra time coming......

Heidelberg win 3-1 AET. Good goals too. Fair game played by both sides. A bit scrappy here and there but still good.

The Bergers were paying $4.50 for a win in normal time, I was tempted but would have lost.

So that is 6/12 ALM sides out of the Cup now.

Quite funny that the top two a league teams were knocked out of the cup by npl sides.
