I will take this moment to gloat a little:
1. Louis Verstraete is the best player in the league. He does so much unnoticed stuff that means he never really gets the accolades, but he's so important to this team. An absolute baller.
2. So happy for Howieson
3. Woud was absolutely slandered here because he was prone to a mistake. While true, he's proven he's a very good a-league keeper. His absence coincided with Auckland's dip in form, and so did conceding multiple softish goals
4. That was 1000% a penalty on Cosgrove. Grant clearly kicks his legs.
What an excellent evening for football in New Zealand. Now we just need the Nix to pull their head in.
Thank you all and good night.
When’s the gloating and trolling starting? You used to much better at it. These are just straight up indisputable facts. (Slipping past that Nix sentence…)
The way AFC looked after Woud is 100% a lesson for the Nix: look after your own, don’t join a pile on on your player who’s doing it tough…
Edit: And also look after your teammates on the park. After the pen shout was turned down 3-4 Auckland players got yellows from turning up the physicality on Sydney and letting them know they weren’t getting away with it even if the ref missed it.
