And Perth had equalised too.

Third highjinks- not the defense, not the keeper, the sprinkler system comes on in the middle of the game!
Maybe our first up draw against WU was not as bad as I thought it was.
Nah, we threw that result away. They weren't this good in Rnd 1.
Did I hear correctly when Macca said that WSW would be making an announcement on a new signing on Monday and that it would be someone released from another A-League club ie Mo Al-Taay?
Can't decide which result is better for us, CCM winning or WSW winning. Or perhaps a draw is better?

CCM end up winning 3-1 and Western United and Mel C women's match ends in a one all draw.

Al-Taay is heading back to Sydney so it's possible he joins Kraev,
Queenslander 3x a year.

And he gets one! No Oli Sail this time and one of those amazing looking long shots from May lands- pow.
May scored many goals like that for Newells Old Boys, you can see why he often goes for them
Really enjoy watching Auckland play. Gotta be honest.
And the second a great skirmish.
What a goal by Pijnaker.
Auckland is so much better than us it's not even funny. For some reason I am enjoying watching Auckland's success, which hurts to admit, but I guess it's good from a NZ football perspective.

Today’s game it helps for me that Brimmer is out and Rogerson and Mata are starting!

It's good for NZ football as a whole, but for me it's depressing to watch, I will be fudgeing devastated if they win the premier's plate, and even the league this season.
Mata looks like a forward too. Him and May, with Rogerson and de Vries slinging crosses is fun to watch, compared to the false 9 team.
If he gets confidence he could start to be very impressive imo.

Going back to watching the Chase. Least my Welly Firebirds did not let me down unlike Mel City. Useless
That was a good watch.
Attack wise, the team look much better with May playing more as a number 10 and a big body up front. He is a class import.
Saying that I think Randall is out of his depth and I still don’t rate Rogerson. Longer term I really want Gillion and Moreno back.
The two imports in midfield are crucial and immense in this set up and cover so much ground to allow the numbers up front.

Auckland will rise once more
I am now prepared to eat a humble pie: my assessment to date was that A-FC have very good defence and an underperforming attack. However, it is very impressive to see Max Mata putting himself about today and scoring, May's peach of a goal right inside the post from a distance. Pijnaker - a CB - impressive composure scoring from a rebound. All beautiful to watch. And good for football in New Zealand: no longer a poor cousin to other sports, hopefully.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
I think I could even cope with Corica, if this was his starting team and he had another non-Brimmer mid!
Goals to Mata and Pijnaker and that worldie from May are much more fun than those own goals and 0-0 until 80 minutes.
Rogerson doesn’t look flashy, but can beat a player, pass a ball and knock the odd one in. Basic winger skills. Slower than Gillion, but in a lot less time has better stats.

He’s threatened a lot against some great saves. Possibly a few other bodies in the box helps distract the keeper too.
Max mata is a huge point of difference today, he has been a sniff away from a brace or even a hatrick and his threat upfront gave may a lot of space and time for the great first goal.
