Australia Cup - Other Australian games

Sail might have done a little better. Got behind the first shot but it still went in. Got beaten at the near post, albeit by a cracker.

Risdon got done like a dogs breakfast, yet at least 1 Glory fan I've seen is blaming Sail.

Oakleigh 1-0 up over the Bergers

Moreton City take the lead with 5 minutes left!! 3-2

The Bergers level things up late, 1-1. Maybe we will get extra time in a game tonight. 

And the Glory are out. 

Emlyn Wellsmore, Kingsley Sinclair & Jacob Tratt's Oakleigh Cannons progress on penalties. 

Semi Finals will be:

Moreton City Excelsior vs Melbourne Victory 

Oakleigh Cannons vs Macarthur FC

Adelaide United vs Western Sydney Wanderers

Hume City vs South Melbourne

Two former NZ youth internationals and an ex-Phoenix helping to get the job done, nice to see.

kungfu panda

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

Injured atm

Glad the games are played at different times so I don't have to pick and choose anymore

Game tonight but no stream link yet. I'm hoping SMFC progress. 

SMFC progress with a 2-3 extra time win, bouncing back from their disappointment on the weekend.

5 losses to SMFC in a single season is insane I know Hume fans are fuming lmao

9:30pm - Adelaide United v Western Sydney Wanderers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_iKkQ-j1kM

Pretty good goal from Ayoubi to put Adelaide up 1-0 at HT, only just tuned in so just saw the half time highlights

WSW equalise - game on!


- Finishes 2-1 to Adelaide Utd After Extra Time

They'll play the winner of Moreton City Excelsior vs Melbourne Victory in the Semi Final

Possible Original Derby followed by a possible proper Melbourne Derby (if SMFC can make it). Could be a fun way to lead into the ALM season.

Oakleigh Cannons v Macarthur FC Stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_-wuQr3yoc

Macarthur 0-1 up after 19 mins 

Are the fans offscreen or something? I've never seen Oakleigh pull more than 30 people except for the grandfinal against South last week

If Macarthur hold on here, they will face SMFC in the next round. Nick Lennon is reporting that Macarthur has signed SMFC's star striker with immediate effect. Total sharkhousery if true by Macarthur lol

So exactly this will happen. Macarthur win 1-0 after scoring after 2 minutes, move on to play SMFC in the Semi Final.

Personally I'm hoping SMFC win against Macarthur. I don't particularly care for them, but I just think a Melbourne Victory vs SMFC Final would be pretty cool, and I would imagine would get a decent crowd as well

SMFC sit back and hit on the counter. I haven't seen anything from Macarthur to suggest they can create chances other than crossing for Germain in the middle. Double team him on those and maybe they can sneak a win.

Weirdly no stream for the Moreton City Excelsior vs Melbourne Victory match.

But Victory are up 2-0

The Victory's new striker seems to be punishing the NPL teams. Pity we can't watch to see what he is like.

Could I interest you in something known as a VPN? 

Edit: Also 3-0, literally scoring every 10 minutes. The third goal wasn't by Vergos this time however he did get the assist so a hattrick in goals and assists in just 30

Stays 3-0 to Victory going in to half time. Very comfortable 1st half for them

I imagine Victory will take it rather easy in the 2nd, probably make a bunch of changes

Victory make it 4-0 after 66 mins

Velupillay with the goal

Finishes 4-0

Semi Finals will be:

Macarthur FC vs SMFC
Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United

The matches should be played next weekend (21-22 September), but exact details haven't been announced yet

SMFC gets to host, so double header in Melbourne. 

Nice to see SMFC doing well. I would love them to get right to the final. This grand old football club has three times applied to join the ALeague. They would be an excellent addition to the competition and could easily make the step up IMO. They would offer more than many of the plastic franchises currently in the A League. What better way for them to stick it up the people that run the ALeague than win this Cup

Lennon would be cup tied no? So if he moves to MacArthur he wouldnt be able to play for them in this comp.

I doubt MAC would want to play Nic Lennon in any game of football 

lol, that is funny, I meant the SMFC striker, point remains despite my grabbing the wrong name.
we talking about SMFC's #9 Harrison Sawyer right?

Yeah. Sawyer is cup tied.

Sounds like the deal was done weeks ago but he wanted to carry on playing for SMFC, despite knowing any injury would scupper the deal.

Melbourne Victory v Adelaide United - 9:30pm - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c722Bv9KX9k

Rawlins, Piscopo and Fornaroli on the bench for the Victory. That is some depth for the Victory.

Feels very much a pre-season game. 0-0 at HT. Victory hit the bar a few times & Duncan made a couple fantastic saves.
