football club coming to you live from Green Gully Reserve all thanks to football Victoria’s YouTube channel my name is Alex sosu and joining me for the first time today is Steve curtain welcome Steve good day Alex it’s a pleasure it’s been a long time coming and finally we get to work together side by side not only today in a later game as well but it’s all about what’s happening at greenal Reserve this afternoon round 22 of the competition and both Ramon Fon and also estan Quintas have swung the changes from their teams that lined up in round 21 with three changes a green team that sees Mo Adam jump into the starting Lup there’s uh no there’s no Manny Peters Jamie Lam’s out suspended and Del marovich dropping to the bench J Chama comes in at left back and there’s a start for tierry eron K in Midfield as well four changes for estan Quintas as side that’s all new front three from the team that beat dandong Thunder last Sunday at Lakeside with Max Mika Noel Berard and mialo minkovich coming into the front three Harrison Sawyer dropping to the bench Jake Marshall returns in central defense Jordan Lampard also returning at left back and both of these sides have got a lot to play for green Gully well their faint finals hopes might be just still alive after the results last night with danong City and Melbourne Knights both suffering defeats and they’re seven points outside of the top six if they can win this one today and get just that little bit closer with those four rounds that remain after this they might be an outside chance but for South Melbourne their seventh points seven points clear of second placed Avendale and a win today and Avendale slipping up at home in the 3:00 kickoff against Oakley could just about almost see SE the deal and be Premier for 2024 this weekend very nearly uh Alex uh sun’s out here and looks like being an exciting contest what are you looking forward to seeing today between these two sides well it’s going to be up to Gully how they how much they want to put the pressure on they are fighting for that top six race South melbour do they’ve rung in the changes as you mentioned Steve they’ve got a big couple of weeks coming up they’ve obviously got a huge game against Hume City next Tuesday in the do cup and after that they’ve got the a league side Wellington Phoenix in the round of 32 Clash so isan Quintas has to manage his side from here on in and that’s why he’s rung in the changes today big opportunity here as you said for those starting in the lineups to impress both coaches as we said as after today there’s four games left for the season how quickly it’s gone by it’ll be the host that will kick us off underway playing in their usual green and white strip South playing in there all the blue strip as we get us underway here as that one goes long and a chance for a could have kept it in so wherever you’re we see a few goals here Steve absolutely well you were here last Saturday at the same same B Time same B Channel Alex and you saw five goals in bit of a seesing match with finals implications alive that dong City ended up coming and planning their flag in the ground here the boys raiding from the southeast of Melvin coming here and getting the points in uh was an impressive performance and goly showed some glimpses last week but they weren’t able to come home with any reward yeah a bit unlucky there they they come rushing home but just didn’t have enough left in the tank and they’re going to have to pull a big game today jalu just taking a bit of a clip on the heels there nothing intentional that time from Robert Harding who’s coming into the lineup today formerly of Manningham United well J celebrated his 23rd birthday last week and he must have decided to get that special haircut for the occasion as well as South Melvin kindly returned the ball to the green side Liam Driscoll in goal he just about needs the cap to deal with the sun in his eyes in this first half J and Taylor shers lining up as Central Defenders with j and Justin SPI lining up right back yes left back there’s three speres in the match day squads for these two teams today wonder if they’re all related have to keep clarified by first name Bernard goes to ground looking for the free kick and Noah langar who’s our match referee his play on T and he’s going to calmly play the ball back to Reg who gets the ball distributed out wide to J Who’s Keen to impress after getting the start he had to B his time on the bench last week waiting for Del B marovich to strut his stuff in the first portion of the match into control possession here and they love to stroke the ball around on this good playing surface a little bit heavy underfoot walked across before the game Alex and well it wasn’t like any B but it was a little bit heavier than it looked perhaps on TV yeah they do uh sprinkle it a little bit before the game and at half time so we see a lot of plays sleeping over in the second half at the moment it’s looking in Christine condition as South now play it out the back from sper so you can hear estban Quintas shouting at his char is trying to get them to moving along as another ball up field this time watched closely that time by Bernard now Berard 11 goals to his name as a cross came in that time from Lampard playing against his former Squad Lampard again going wide good tackle there from speri good challenge once again from Lampard going forward hope hope trying to block his run Ma for South Melbourne just trying to get my head across all of these changes to South melbour as we said five changes to the team that got that one n Win courtesy of Harrison sawers goal last Sunday evening and looks like Robert Harding’s lining up as the right winger he played something of a 10 in that match last week behind the striker Max is the key return into this team because you know what that brings a long throw and into the breeze this will just sit up nicely for the South players to attack and it’s Away by Tailor drivers so well dealt with by that Gully defense Lampard team were impress against his old side but as he played that one over the crossbar perhaps they could have been well it goes in I’m sure the the crowd would change their tune but at the moment in their good books there’s a short ball in they play it out another chance here for Tava as that time takes a touch of Pope and once again south going forward and it’ll be a throw for a green gy deep at left back he’s been an impressive player at e lies bow reports as Jack popen he’s come straight into this team and made the starting 11 in consecutive games now so he’s certainly holding his own out there and giving estan Quintas a lot more opportunities to shuffle the pack in central Midfield we see some of the other players used central me including Ross archol starting on the bench for the second consecutive week today as well as Mario Barcia the metronome in that Midfield he’s not there today in the match day Squad at all what a he scored for his first goal the season a couple weeks back against the Cannons very unlucky not to get Call of the week that time fortunately uh Danny thundy keeper decided he will take it in the last second as quick throw Kap go flicks it on chance now good running here from Adam Adam in the starting lineup after being out last week still a hot ball in a tight position and it’ll be a gully throw kapco to bring it in not remind green gly of that pierce Clark goal from a couple of weeks ago because it’s still something that’s haunting them dropping those couple of points that they did which could have really help them in the race for the finals hope runda leaves it for Ru chance Kiama go haven’t enjoyed a lot of possession early on as now they’re starting to get into the Rhythm SP no pressure from the forward here from South Melbourne Kama now bit of space on the left hand side anui scored a wonder goal last week can you look to replicate that again everyone in their attacking half here for gly as playing a through ball hope Tred to square it but good defending here by South cleared by Lampard and just running out of space chance for Gully now to bring it in from the throw good block on the cross there from Yankovic has hope to play that ball the wa on the pass from the right back there from spti that was excellently weighted through Ball by Justin spti f for Josh hope and here he is on the ball again Josh hope there’s plenty of blue shirts behind the ball want except from Robert Harding back behind the ball and even Harding is retreating back to a deeper defensive position so it’s a wall of blue here for gly to play through and the cross comes in kak POS the target he wins non preferred and it was certainly the shot that reflected that of a nonpreferred foot on the volley it’s out of play for a goal kick nil nil here in the opening minutes in this one between green Gully and South Melbourne Steve curtain and Alex Sosi with you on the call this afternoon we hope you’re enjoying this R you’re tuning on the npl Victoria live stream couple of big games last night halberg United two-nil winners against the Melbourne Knights and a bit of a goal Fest down at Frank hollan it was Hume City coming away with the points four goals to two despite being a man down two in that one had a red card City you caught that game last night Alex it was dramatic one plenty to report on by all courts yeah it be interesting to see what comes out of it so obviously hum will be looking at this came closely their opponents South in that doy cup semi for a chance to play in the finals so they need every single player they can on the field as South are really looking to wrap up the season here today obviously Oakley and Avendale playing after this at 3 p.m. so season the prip plate still on offer but a win here today will put him in good sorts bit of a mixup that time from engl he swings at it now over the top Ru heads it back to Driscoll glaz started in central defense with Jake Marsh getting at in the right back position today so coming up there directly opposing Jan ianucci so we’ll keep an eye on that battle it promises to be an exciting one kako in recent weeks moving into the number nine position after playing as the right winger Adam playing out wide and here’s Mo Adam on the ball B his time on the bench last week ended up not getting on the park a couple of Port Melbourne recruits in the midseason coming across Manny Peters joining gly and a couple of former teammates Jan reg and Adam already here so this man as well L be out of play for corner here it’s going to be given us a goal kick so South mour happy with the way that they defended that one again throwing plenty of bodies at it including the number 15 out there which is Zach SPI just trying to keep acoss all of this that are out there as well today in Greenly on their bench have also got ji the recent recruit from jalong socer Club he’s been playing State League one dropping out of the npl system after being relegated last year he’s featured for them nine times this dead Park outfit and scored once so gets his second chance to be in the match day squad for his former Junior Club Green golly would it happen to be a right back would he two spor right backs at the moment so hoping for a third we might see Raymond Fon make that change later on it’s almost like they’re playing Five across the back here times glaz and swapping positions interesting does look like five just at the moment out of possession interesting setup from Quintas you think like uh you play attacking style it’s very defensive at the moment but he obviously changes that formation as the game goes along we he’s got two weapons on the bench Andy Brennan and Harrison Sawyer so maybe just saving them for later on give him a chance for a bit of a Runa here has to go back to his captain in Strivers R goes wide anui scored the goal of the week last week flicks one over the box to Hope gets around Lopez shout for penalty referee waves him on thank side nice call there for Noah langar a difficult one to make as well and he’s decided to the Ben the doubt to the defending team in South Malin and award the goal kick Hope was just clicked by the goalkeeper as he come out he got the touch on the ball Lopez Hope just the slightest of amount of contact Hope just asked the question like cricketer turning around saying how’s that for an lbw sh there was Josh hope but burning him down DRS available Yankovic now looking to go up forward gets a pass lays it up field quick one two football here as flicks it over the top just on the back of the head of Lampard just lost his footing at the last second as strive is clear as for the line it will be a throw so these are the chances that South Melbourne are banking on we said the going with the five at the back with Yankovic Marshall and in lining up as the three Central Defenders and then the wing backs either side of them Lampard and zachi and these are the chances these are the moments are looking for Max M to send in Hail Mary at the top of the sixy BLX again it’s Taylor drivers who on the head of No Doubt Ram Fon and his team have worked on that in the training ground this week it’s Away by Justin Materia that time and out of play here’s C the new signing from Jer Reserve grabbing the ball but he’s going to of course give it back to n to send it in long again amazing to see how Max is able to get so much power from the throw usually has that long run up at South Melbourne at Lake sideways a little bit shorter here he still manages to get it in right near the penalty spots a deep Long throw here W head it down chance cleared gly now referee will blow the whistle that time as a a foul Cur on a new hard beding his case you mentioned that with the the long throws and the shorter run up you can’t come in from Lane eight of the athletic strike like he does l at Lakeside Stadium but he’s also throwing them into the win but it seems like that they do well when they are throwing into the breeze when it holds up and it’s harder to defend and harder to head the ball away but so far Taylor ders has done really well repelling those long throws and’ll be what rmon FS on I’ll be hoping to see for the Remer of the 90 minutes here 1 minutes gone still nil nil here in this round 22 npl men’s Victoria clashes regat to switch the play he’s looking for Adam but he picks out the former Valley defender in Lampard with an Ecentric flick back to his goalkeeper Robert Harding just having a chat to saan quintos there as you can see he’s limping a little bit so I have to watch a close eye on that one is Sai wants to make early on as a chance now for South through the back line here go short to niola dropping very deep as he goes along ball over the top to Harding just couldn’t time his run as offside flag is raised [Music] there take a look at the players that the coach has got available on the substitutes bench this afternoon rammon FS on at his disposal this afternoon Del marovic Philip penio IUS Suess Reef Murph the subke keeper and Jeri the player that we mentioned coming in the mid-season window from jalong the south melbour it’s a strong bench isn’t it Alex Andy Brennan Harrison Sawyer Emmy POS the subke keeper will Le Ross archal and Jack painon Andrews I think not too many teams can afford to drop names like that especially this late in the season but esan quintz has that luxury there as as you said he’s got a seven-point lead but more importantly he’s got a couple of big games coming coming up and he knows silverware is on the cards and they can take it easy today I mean not that he would want to but uh he knows the two big games with the docky cup and around the 32 Clash are pencil marked in and they’re expected to do well in those two games especially against Hume City they’ve had the number on him and against well a league side Wellington Phoenix who there is a offseason Steve so it’s a good time to catch those A- League teams now that’ll be the one they’ll be targeting to make a real statement against a full-time professional outfit like Wellington Phoenix and having that opportunity on their own patch at Lakeside Stadium ground that they’ve been able to get some good results on consistently for a number of years now just give them all the confidence and no doubt we’ll see a healthy crowd of blue and white turning out on the occasion for that one on the first Tuesday of August that one takes place the Tuesday after the docky Cup Final and well they might be playing in the doy Cup Final on the Saturday and then lining up in the national round on the Tuesday so that will be another big week as well if they’re able to get over hum this Tuesday night that match also on home soil as well after they had to play in the play in game got the win against harderberg United they’re defending here again kadak POS there it goes across the back post an enterprising attack by G down the left hand side with J Chama heavily involved so gly trying to just find a way through this pack defense that’s going to be the challenge for Roman felon’s team they’re good at playing that high possession game but it’s going to be the speed of the ball movement and their ability to move around this South Melvin team there’s some experienced heads in defense but there is some younger players out there as well lik of Pope and Marinkovic lining up in central Midfield and they can get the better of those boys in the middle of the park maybe they’re an outside chance to open the scoring here in the first half be cut amongst the pigeons as the bal’s played forward by Yankovic Galloping on the line is lebard tries to get the early cross in goes behind out of play it’s going to be a corner kick deflected off the G Defender so chance for the big boys to come forward plenty of height there in glaz as well the young man is look like he’s even taller than Marshall Yankovic just about there Alex yeah it does look like it so plenty of high there for Max M to pick out interesting running as Lampard is playing that left wing back typee role as making bursting runs down the line soly need to ensure that they speria covers him as Micha now to bring it in it’s Micha cross comes in looping ball headed away that time from Mira dunda swing at it wide but it’s going to end up being a goal kick and a chance now for to get the ball back see you said it easier said than done once they do get past those five Defenders at times they’ve got to get past Harvey Lopez who is not so such an easy be has uh he’s been once again one of the top Keepers in the League this season in N football I’d say in Australia in any of the N competitions is getting the ball past an agile custodian such as Harvey Lopez he’s shot percentage off the charts year in year out save percentage should I say is on the ball here just calming things down again as goly set up in their defensive block now and South Melbourne invited to try and play their way through maybe that’s the chance for to try and hit them on a turnover that’s how South Melvin scored last week Harrison Sawyer winning the ball back from the central Defender going in to score it wasn’t a glorious buildup but they all work good finish as well by the big man Harrison Sawyer 14 goals to his name leading the Golden Boot race at the moment as Micha expecting the hit from Hope as Lampard there recover chance now for Yankovic happy to move it around in the backline here South Melbourne no pressure to go forward if there’s not a player up front once again Yankovic looks up field on in the middle as Micha now wasn’t expecting Lampard to go back a little bit as a chance now for sper to bring it right in front of the bench just finding a little bit difficult here go to win a back as Lampard happy to go back to Lopez and restart the play you just feel like Steve gly one chance that they might have they have to take here today because it’s a very very big backline with five in defense and you feel like chances aren’t going to come as much as they hope yeah you couldn’t put it better Alex I think they have to be very clinical today and it’s it’s a real arm wrestle out there in this first nearly 20 minutes that we played out here that prob putting himself about and coming away with a smile on his face that’s to see well you heard that through our effects Mike here on the N Victoria live stream Jord behind the camer even got a smile on his face too he’s been doing some good work as well for one of our uh fellow broadcasters on the Euros as well as eston Quint a busy man traveling up to Sydney to get in the studio or should I say for the coper America Robert Harding on the ball here I’m sure he could do a good shift analyzing the Euros as well but yeah the coper America has been his stick and Argentina through to the final against colia coming up on Monday I wonder who is going for Steve I don’t think it will be the Colombians but bit jealous my brother over in the States was able to get to that match in New York where the Argentine beat Canada two goals to nil the other day in front of 80 odd thousand people that would have been uh certainly the place to be other day but at the moment still an arm wrestle here here’s Erin K who’s com to the starting 11 for the suspended Jamie lean Adam SPI shers out wide is JT out in front of the green social club and the sun’s just gone behind the clouds here temperatures dropping down a touch plenty of instruction coming from the greeny technical area pressure from MiO minkovich and he’s the judge to have fou L there so a little bit of Ward but the free kicks are a little bit of distance out here for golly to try and tempt fate and get themselves on the scoreboard here this got to find something someone on the end of it kapka obviously has the size and she Force to do it but uh when he’s up against five Defenders it’s a bit of a tough ask as to now to bring it in Cross comes in it’s a good looking Ball but plenty of blue shirts around eventually it’s cleared by SPI high ball in the Aira heads it back now chance for Ru at the back post and sliding challenge that time from Zach speri and it’s a corner here for green Gully this is where you feel like Steve they have to take that chance from set plays and set pieces as with pretty much a back five uh as we said earlier on it’s going to be very difficult to try to find that easy pass through that’s right if they can just win this first header here and a bit of luck with the second ball gly that would probably be best hope in these sort of situations but South look favored to win it dri is flying high at the back post though jumping over Jordan Lampard gives him a little bit of a gives him one to go on with as they run back to position so sh really doing well in the aerial Jews at both ends of the park so far good delivery on that corner kick from joha ianucci certainly helped the C for green Gully the wind behind the kick sailing all the way to that back post area over the top some of the Tall Timber in the blue shirts certainly that AAL route to goal for G will be a challenging one if they’re able to take their chances see what they can conjure up as this match continues still an arm wrestle a game of chess here at the between these two sides here’s Marco Yankovich it’s bit of an interesting uh structural change there from Cary they’re playing a sort of a 4 231 system so It’s seems to be interchanging a lot there but you could definitely have a back forward and at times I’ll have a a Midfield two has that one over the top and it’s an easy pick up there for Driscoll so Raymond Fells on just tinkering a bit with his side trying to get some numbers forward hoping to find a space and a bit of Gap so at the moment it’s holding up as we’ve almost played 23 minutes here green gy Reserve as still n all Ty has to track back relax keep it in compose himself it goes back to his captain both teams now getting back into position it’s Ki looks to go long up field it’s a good ball in t keeped it in but no one there to assist him and it’ll be a throw for South mman deep at right back again the balling from J there was useful for a little bit too much on it but it’s the second time we’ve seen the green g full playing in those balls into those half spaces where there’s the slightest of gaps in the South Melbourne defense and players from Deep position such as T and hope running onto the ball from making those runs from Midfield that are harder to pick up for the South Mel Defenders and perhaps that is their best hope to try and keep playing those sorts of balls into those areas that low ball across and hopefully kako can be there there he is in theal there clashing with nio Marinkovic and it is a head Clash so no Lang blown up here we’re going to have to stop and check on the welfare of these two boys involved only made Senior debut few weeks ago against Manningham United Blues has Mio minkovich has one goal to his name in the under 23s just 19 years of age certainly the the smaller man in that aial juel and drop ball gets us going again both plays to be back up and running a slow burn this one the crowd here is hushed there’s plenty of blue and white in the crowd all coming in just before kickoff making the trip up to Melbourne’s Northwest as this is a good overlap the back post and it’s just past the post the closest we’ve come so far Z SP getting the cross in causing a bit of havoc in the greeny penalty area and estan Quintas is certainly upbeat about that opportunity that they created we haven’t turned up the Mike’s effect that is’s uh actually just giving instructions to his players it’s great insight to hear the coach can as what changes he wants and the type of football he wants to play so it’s it’s great to hear it at times because obviously we’re at times too high and we can’t hear it butan Quint is using that voice of his and you can definitely hear what he wants his players to do which is a great insight into the game as kapco just timing that one it’s flicked on by Harding Ru coming in it’s a good point Alex you think about all the matches we see Quintas getting animated when at Lakeside Stadium we’re of course in the grand stand on the far side of the pitch on a venue that has an Athletics track so there’s no chance of hearing we can see the theatrics but we certainly have no idea of what’s being said today we’ve certainly got the rails run of what the coaching instructions are from not only estan but also from felon and his technical St left as well interesting to have a chat to about football sure we could sit there for hours and days about it but chance for Kiama now looks up field nothing really in front of him has to go back to regu Shrivers bit of space here for sper on right hand side eventually the ball gets to him looks up field Adam Ball up field to kapco bouncing off the chest of is tries to get around and it will be a corner so chance for gly now at another set play good run into the channel there by kak po and the Run was honored by Mo Adam and the reward is the corner kick so another chance here and John luk yuchi is going to take this one into the breeze it should hold up and might make it it might make it easier for the goalie attackers to get something on this perhaps so Lopez shouting instructions Defenders watch for the runners coming in it’s a good cross into the box oh kapco was the target swinging a miss that time for speri Force for Ru will he keep it in and it’ll be another corner here so Cary now enjoying that bit of pressure and possession as anui comes across word to get the win today it be their first in 11 outings against South mour defeated sou for six years one of the longer droughts that green golly would have experienced it’s in by yuci the inswinger and Harvey Lopez punching away only as far as T who shot is screwed and off Target slicing it with that left pan couldn’t wrap his foot around it and still goes qu to our right here he’s very very animated we just need a camera on him yeah little screen at the bottom just watch his animations there we go there’s an idea for next season season 2025 on the live streams press red for press red for qu perhaps it’s battling hard there no free kick as that time banana just having a look at the referee as drivers now plays it out wide to sper bit of space for him here goes to Adam late challenge there from Micha on the knee and it’s giv away a free kick Mo Adam there just holding the knee a little bit right in front of the four Fisher V treski and it’s a free kick now SP to bring it back in for gly can go short of DEA but goes up field looking for kapco Yankovic heading it down to Lampard deep ball in a bit of almost a mixup there between Lopez and speri as t comes away with it getting surrounded by blue shirts Micha hounding him has to go back to Driscoll good pressing by there forcing all the way back to West between the post in The Old Pink [Music] hit reading Junior player drivers sharing the ball in central defense it’s a raking switch of play out towards luk oh it’s a great first touch almost magnetic out there in front of the players race plays it in across the face of the goal Harvey Lopez at full stretch well I’m not sure he was attempting the shot there but that almost flew in from John lukanin he scored from that similar position out wide there when you were here last week Alex as well that would have been even more remarkable had that beaten Harvey Lopez from what was almost the tightest of angles yeah that’s him on his left foot so he’s got the skills in another chance here for Gully Shri has made the run it’s a good ball into the box Lopez punches it away another Corner good keeping again Harvey Lopez really commanding that sixy box there not the tallest he’s got an excellent vertical leap hasn’t he about to say that too he’s not the tallest keeper but yeah definitely one that can make that leap doing shuttle runs from One Wing to the other here to take these Corner kicks the set set pie specialist there’s no Jamie leam in the team today out with yellow card accumulation to take the set pieces and this one to driven in and no Adam was lining up but it’s repelled by that South Melbourne defense further forward by Pope Justin is going to get there first he can hear the footsteps of Noel Bernard panting as well as he was chasing him down the touch line well played by Justin spuri and Gully can continue to enjoy the possession of the football here they have struggled to create meaningful attempts on goal but kept Lopez on his toes at least from those Corner kicks driven in by Jan lanui pretty calm and content sitting behind the ball here and trying to play on the break lampire was awaiting that ball to be played through and the Man in the mustache got there first it’s going to stay in play as well yes ma picking out another mustach man in Taylor drivers who does the full outside of the foot 360 and as he clear it’s charged down by Bernard so again good pressing from the front by that South Melvin team that’ll impress Quint further he’s made two cut Runing runs there Noel Bernard as you can see just hovering over now getting some deep breaths in and that’s what’s expected from him esan Quintas would have laid down the law to his charges and knows that it’s big three points on offer they can’t afford to slip up here today so no Bernard leading from the front there with late charging runs as DUS now to bring it back into play still haven’t tested Drisco here Steve and that’s probably something that Raymond felon will be happy [Music] with with some good close control there and he does get the decision his way enjoy the sounds of our effects Mike there for that reaction from the South M technical area as green g is switching the ball over to the far side of the park here here’s Mo Adam who’s swapped out to the Left Flank Adam and ianucci swapping flanks Midway through this first half it’s nil nil here the defens is winning out so far in this Clash here’s Justin SPI got nanci ahead of him in the sunlight in green Gul reserve Saturday lunchtime kickoff it’s a matter of who can break the deadlock here and switching the play now this is Jama now hope greeny trying to move around this South melbour defensive block that one hung in the air a little bit too long perhaps and it’s easily nodded Away by Lampard his old team lining up as a left wing back today more of a license to get forward doesn’t mind getting forward what a goal he scored in the Australia cup at PT Corner Reserve earlier in the season to when he snuck up the left hand flank and smashed one in at the there at coning that huge clash in front of over 6,000 people the biggest crowd one of these players front to bring it back in now Kama just sck over 34 minutes now s n all probably doing more of the attacking you could say Steve as South really haven’t really t at Driscoll at the moment there’s another chance here for speri right in front of us at right wing looking for a ball to anucci need to get Anu involved a bit more as he flicks one over the top lovely ball to kapco Runners are coming in now looking for Adam he cuts by gets it into the box still going kapco lays it off anucci oh it’s going to be a free kick but a bit unlucky there for anucci as it looks like Max Micha just might have got a clip on the heels as anucci was going for a shot on goal there but that was a big moment there Steve as kabco got it into the box and maybe should have had a chance at goal but Micha now just getting back on his feet watch that one on a replay screen here Alex kako Saed pass one then another unselfish to to maybe his angle at goal was closed down perhaps maybe picked out sorry sayi but just fing away at the heels and with no time to try and attemp on Yankovic short but Harding dropping deep it’s still limping quite a bit from that earlier challenge there so not able to move that freely as he would like as Yankovic now looks up forward lost one over the top looking for Lampard he gets back there in time and it’ll be a throw for South Melbourne another chance for a long mck a throw well played by Justin there young man was strong in the challenge but we’ll see what South can conjure up here and everyone from Green Gully is as you would expect back in their own penalty area to try and repel this one Taylor is looking to nod this one straight back out of the penalty box from where it came from and there the deception the throw to Lampard and now Micha to supply the cross into the the penalty spot and it’s dealt with by that gly defense but it’s all blue shirts back here this is Zach SPI glaz just got their first over the top it might break for Harding but easily fed In The End by Driscoll’s going to try and get Greenly going forward kako out wide on the left Good Feet from him again must have confidence from that last run through the penalty area as he charged down the Left Flank pass one then another and eventually the second effort from Zach’s materials enough to create a bit of a disruption and the ball had a play for a gully throw but a really enterprising run from ad kako who’s trying to light this game up a game that certainly needs a a main character a hero nil nil at the moment Adam was the early leap he noted that one as he was on the way back down couldn’t get it On Target and test out Harvey Lopez from there looks like it might be an early change here Steve as South Melbourne handing substitution slip to the fourth official and might be Robert Harding as he struggled from that earlier challenge earlier on is keeps stretching that left Cal strain so be interesting to see looks like it’s going to be Ross archal as the player who’s going to be brought on here as well Alex so not not a like for like so there’ll be a bit of a reshuffle required again and I think we’ll might see a few more reshuffles as this game goes on with the variety of players available on the bench but this is a good look at golf for Noel Bernard the former green Gully attacker trying to come back and haunt his old Club but he could TG as he that one towards was off Target just off balance there no Berard probably could have taken a few more touches 11 goals to his name this season so another player in double digits as he Chas is his teammate in Harrison Sawyer who’s on 14 as Drisco looks to bring it back into play for Gully as we’ve almost hit the 40-minute Mark both those players as well Al Berard and saw both with four goals in the Cup competitions as well to good so really impressive total over the course of the season for those two boys in attack for South Melbourne to now Kangal pinch a late one here on edge of the Box cross comes in it’s a good one it’s headed Away by Yankovich there will be another Corner not taking any chances there Marco Yankovic there wasn’t really anyone like getting on the end of that for the green Gully side but get themselves another corner kick so just over 5 minutes until the halftime break this first half has flown by despite it being a slow burn and goess every little detail is crucial in a match like this has got to get everything spot on the quality of this corner kick from IUI be Paramount here as it comes in it’s punched Away by Harvey Lopez that was probably going in had it not been for the intervention of the South melvan shot stop up and it’s going to be another corner kick again for gly this time into the breeze for it’s got to have a player there cuz a couple of times I’ve had that corner come in and it’s been a free punch that time for lowers so you got to think like kap’s got to be there or Mo Adam just being near the keeper and this Ball’s coming in a slight flick on can go easy a goal but Harvey Lopez there doing it very easily has another chance for ruci now from the other side cross comes in this time it’s a bit of a floater looking for the back got up high still not out of trouble eventually comes away Marshall but play is going to get called back as looks like a player down just holding his leg that might allow South to make their change so it’ll be Robert Hardy coming off coming on is Ross archal so that injury to Robert Hardy early on has taken its toll and unfortunately his day ends so be interesting to see what tactical change isan Queen test will make now in forms of Ross Archer Bal moving looks like to a central Midfield R and Max Micha coming up top so just a slight tweak from uh estan Quintas Steve yeah so he going to move to more of a Central Area perhaps he’s operating down the left hand side see how that one develops and there might be further tweaks at halim as well for qu side a good H by by to the ball and lost his footing it is slippery out there foot played by Lampard composed forward by Yankovic a good first T by and’s fou you might be the first play to go into the book the afternoon here reaction from both technical areas after the challenge do a lot wrong he a little bit late on the challenge but wasn’t anything too malicious niola was sent Skyward though we catch that one again on our replay screen Alex and try and make some sense of what took place looked high start stamping down onto standing foot perhaps OFA so it could be could be in trouble I think it might be in trouble here we’ll see what the fourth official says as langerak has a chat to V CH and South Mourne is certain looking for a red card to beuc here yellow yellow and I have to say I think that’s the right decision in the end and we certainly hope that n mler is able to play on as well they’ve just lost Robert Harding they can’t afford to be losing players particularly if if Harding is going to be out perhaps for the coming matches this Tuesday and Friday as we three games in the space of a week that’s Justin sp’s first yellow card this season but uh more importantly see Max Micha there he if he goes out is’s a big loss for him especially with his long throws he’s back on his feet but he’s limping heavily he’s continuing the discussion with langerak but the decision is finally yellow [Music] card Yankovic now goes up the line to Bernard almost taking a slip there cross comes in it’s low cleared chance again for Mika just pulled it wide off a step that set play with the low ball across thex there sppy surface out there and it crowded penalty area Anything Can Happen wouldn’t be surprised if that is the route to goal perhaps for potentially either side if we are to get the scoreboard attendant active today at the moment still looked at nil nil in the shadows of halim Robert Harding SED out for Ross archal that’s the only change in Personnel that we’ve seen and going the B go for Max looks to be back and running okay as Max nich probably have the ice pack on that foot or ankle after the game heed out or after the end of the 90 no doubt but it’s like he’s okay to continue flict this ball onto Berard who in turn flicks it on in particular except for Taylor shers Just moving forward maybe one last chance for gly to try and mount an attack and get themselves on the scoreb before the break ready to take the throw he’s a lot of options ahead of him happy to go back to Shrivers as we head into the 45th minute now as a fourth official will put up looks like two minutes as gly now one last roll at will be three minutes of out a time SPI back to Shrivers Ru pushing forward here now ball into Tava gets around his marker just too many blue shirts around still going T can go wide he does Adam cross comes in it’s blocked that time by SPI hope recovers back to Mo Adam cross comes in it’s a good one kapco straight at Lopez just needed to pick either side there Steve but it was a lot better there from Gully best moment of the game for green so far and it comes in first half off each time and no doubt rammon Fon will be citing that particular passage of play in the halftime team talk looking for more of that sort of thing as we watch that one to get on the replay screen the ball out wide to Mo Adam and really his first cross blocked but then the next ball that came in was spot on on byak he just couldn’t quite find the corner but here he is again trying to ask questions of that South Melbourne defense by ICI footsteps coming from Lampard sh is now plays it out wide to Ru almost played a minute of at a time two to go here as Tava looks for hope anucci on right wing cross comes in darting ball bit too much there for Adam as a foot race now between him and speri Adam used his body well and he wins a throw here for Gully going to quickly move it along here good tenacity from Adam there and he wins inside the throw and here’s sh to swing the cross in but so many blue shirts back there can POS in about a one on three one on four so decided again swinging the cross in bit of a scrap going on in first half stage time here over this three kick that’s been awarded to South Melbourne the little detail sometimes that upset the most just about the last roll of the dice for the first half push on forward now Ru allows that one to drop the tore quick release got to be careful here hoping anui each other’s way there puts a ball up field but probably not the right pass here from minucci now Bernard battling hard that’s going to be a free kick showing the STS there it’s been given as a indirect free kick by no langar interpret his interpreted his uh signals correctly just under 30 seconds left to go here before halftime he’s called it early so near all at halim between green Gully and South Melbourne here Steve a best chance coming to Green Gully that time with Adolf kapco with the hitter other than that it’s been really green guler who been pressing majority of the game whereas South Melbourne have haven’t really had any chances against Driscoll he hasn’t had a lot to do but uh nevertheless it’s been an entertaining first 45 minutes and has sometimes uh you don’t need goals to see an exciting match of football that’s what we’ve seen it’s been very enthralling seeing how this one plays out between South Melbourne who made a tacnical switch to three Central Defenders and the wing backs five across the back and trying to make it difficult for gly to play through and as the players leads the field both Taylor Shrivers and Liam drisol having a chat with referee Noah langr and Robert Harding man who’s recently transferred across from Manningham United Blues the West Aussie he heads off with one boot on and one boot off AR was subbed out after cing one on the ankle in the opening minutes at halim here at Green galy Reserve with Steve curtain and Alex Sosi thank you for company for the first 45 looking forward to you joining us after the halftime break we’re at Green galy Reserve it’s locked at nil nil between green Gully and South M we’ll be back after this short halftime interval e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e welcome back ladies and gentlemen to this massive round 22 clash in npl men’s Victoria between the host green gly soccer club and I’m visiting South Melbourne football club Alex s crosi and Steve Cur and with you bringing you the next 45 minutes and Steve nil all at halime two changes made here by South Melbourne with uh Harrison Sawyer coming on coming off n lard and also coming on is ail Pelos and coming off Mio minkovich so isaban Quintas making some changes there Sten it’s more so maybe just getting some fresh legs as they’ve got a couple of games over the next coming days yeah so it looks like they’ll continue as they were with the three center backs perhaps we will we’ll keep an eye on that in the wing back system but Harrison Sawyer certainly is a notable addition man who scored the only goal of the game last week to guarantee that South the maximum points against Dan Thunder good pressure here from ad kako right from the kickoff putting the pressure on Marco Yankovic and they’ll concede the goal kick but nonetheless that is a bit of a warning signal there for the South melbour defense and they got to be on their toes because ad kako is still full of energy in the second 45 here it’s a match that’s seen few opportunities kadak probably came closest for the green g side with his header late on in the first half saved by Harvey Lopez almost playing with fire there in their own defensive third they’re going to be able to clear the ball away glaz won the ball well and now Micha who’s Shrugged off that knock that he received from Justin Mater try his luck it’s blocked by that Gully defense and the Sunshine that we saw in the first half has made way for clouds and the breeze and it feels like it’s dropped almost a couple of degrees here at Green galy Reserve during the halftime break so the change in condition see a change in complexion of this game it’s has been one out by the two defenses so far Ross archol on the ball he came on for Robert Harding Midway through that first 45 so South Mel persisting with the three Central Defenders Yankovic as the left Central Defender Marshall in the middle and inaz as the right center back inaz the tall figure in the number six is on the ball now in the white boots and he’s going to send the ball over the top towards the halftime subing Harrison Sawyer running down towards the by line he plays it into a dangerous position Micha goes to ground no foul Luka ja Under Pressure sends it forward it’s cut out by archal and again it’s t and looking for Josh hope archal again with the interception this time it falls to span goly going to try and get themselves up the park well they’re going to have to really push pressure on the back three here as uh is Manas just making a few Tactical changes at half time is overlapping with spti making those runs and a chance now for Kama has anucci now anucci looking to take on SPI gets it into the box it’ll be another Corner another opportunity here for gly had plenty of chances from the corner but haven’t taken advantage of those as out of kapco moves across to impede looks like Harvey Lopez but uh plenty of Defenders around him in blue shirts it’s anucci high ball into the box looking for the back post drivers came running in but just mistiming his run and it will be a goal kick just Carri a little bit further than everyone was expecting over at the back post and got a good run up run up and run and jump at it the drivers but didn’t time it correctly so he was just gambling on the M touch there by sh and he picked up the ball here popei in glaz made forward by Emy posos the halftime sub and here’s pop out wide on the right trying to supply the cross he’s forced back by J and throw will be the outcome and Max Micha wanders over to take in another long bomb coming into the sixy box no doubt here for Max michler although we did see the variation in the first half the short throw trying to keep things uh fresh and keep the opponents on their toes just have a hunch we will see the no repeat of that this time G out need to be on their toes as Micha looks to go long hit it away gets another crack at it cross comes in well brought down Driscoll easy pick up for him so no one really challenging that ball quick release here finds Tava kabco bit of space here on the left hand side is hunda Kiama now they got to go forward here Gully anucci can he spark a little bit of magic too simple with the pass it good work from Pope s his ground now as they go forward now chance plenty of G and white shirts around Brennan tried to use his body Shrivers gives away a foul and it goes into the books with a yellow his third yellow for the season second Defender out of the back four in the book mat booked in the first half of the challenge on Max Nichol free kick opportunity for Yankovich here south send the Tall Timber forward congregating around the back post and it comes from Yankovic it is aimed at that back post area jeel between archal Aral did win the header against his opponent INRI but it’s repelled by that Gully defense and Nan is scanning the field for options you can’t see anything you like so he opts to find kako who’s in the center of the park as he moves back up to his number nine position after defending the set piece good work that time from engo just stopping the play there Andi as assesses his options looks for a through ball it’s flicked on here all good work that time now it’s hope can he keep it in he does o Lopez gets back into his keeping position hope now has anucci goes short cross comes in it’s a bit of a wasted chance as Micha two to beat good work they get it back again for Kama gley now shers can go wide to speri got a bit space on that right hand side speri go so Adam just getting held up a little bit there speri looking to make a cross oh poor ball that time is cut off by Archer Bol and bit of a challenge on Micha that time again he’s been in the thick of it there Steve Max Micha a few challenges on [Music] him as he’s back up on his feet you can see the breeze picking up the umbrellas in the green gy beer garden are starting to just have lift off and you can see the rain’s coming down here as well and the fans making a mass movement across to The Veranda for some shelter hopefully will stay dry under here good to be in a position with for alamin roof as this Ball’s played over the top looking for popen well played by Driscoll who got there first that previous attack by gly where Josh hope nipped in and got to the ball before Harvey Lopez that was bit of luck I suppose his ball forward and it was coming off the head oflaz that made it more difficult for Harvey Lopez and favored the touch actually f for Josh hu got to the ball first but his touch went all the way to the by line and Har Lopez recovered quick got back into his goal after being briefly completely out of position fortunately for him the ball was also in a very wide area asak POS full of Industry here and he wins his side a corner kick over there in front of the photographer Mark avalino is also ducking for cover he needs his umbrella over there a true professional he’s not going to break for the rain he’s going to keep shooting pictures of these Scully players trying to open the scoring here in the second half against South Melvin this tight tussle it’s Ian’s corner kick it’ll be the out swinger this time shers is the target heels for a hand and then the attempted overhead kick and I fancy this is going to be a free kick for hide boot going the way of South Melbourne Mo Adam who swung the booty mod connected with the South Melbourne player in the head of real war of attrition today South mour play is going down and this is the latest watch this one in a replay there is some concern as the trainer is out on the field initially appeals for a hand ball it was by actually it was Marshall and then the overhead kick attempt I think it struck Ross archal and knocked out Ross archal so some concern here the acrobatics from Adam definitely looked like a hand ball and engl there but uh the more concerned now is was the right hand it really would have blindsided Lang didn’t see it this is a serious situation here so we’re going to have a delay in play play’s health is Paramount here much more important than anything else according to the graphic there been a which has doesn’t appear to be the case because I didn’t see that happen he’s on the park so apologies for the confusion on the graphic there on the screen still Neil nil here and the concern is for R AR trying to nod the ball away in his own penalty he was struck by overhead kick from Mo Adam seeing a professional footballers Association video about Warren this week as well that concussion that he suffered and how how important it is to really focus on the players welfare in these sort of situations at the moment with Ross archall that he’s able to get the treatment he needs here to recovery to the head back sitting up now that’s that’s a promising sign might get up and walk off but I would certainly say he’s going to be subbed out here and he was only subbed on in the first 45 for the injured paring so with three matches in the space of seven days it’s not what South Melbourne wanted and Ross archal is going to be helped from the field and it’s good to see him up walking but given the seriousness of the incident you would imagine that that will be the last we see of out of the park for a week or so at least with the concussion protocols that would be required after such a Blow To The Head he really took for the team there hope it’s nothing too serious that it’s just precautionary that he comes off and it wasn’t intentional he both going for the ball but it’ll force a change as uh he’ll come off so Ross archal will come off and coming off is Jack painter Andrews so thisan quenas forced to make another change and not the start to the second half that we wanted of sh but we wish r AR Bo all the best and we hope to see him on the park in the next couple of weeks as the game will commence once again so kapo is still on the field from what I can see or I’m just trying to AG no I think he’s off yeah so Adolf kapco sent off so goly now down a player that’s his second red card for the year so G now task with trying to bring it home with a a man [Music] down s use this extra man Advantage now as Drew looks to bring it back into play come hey one that one dreis sends it Forward good hitter that time by Marshall wins a free kick against [Music] hope not happy with that decision GL say oh it’s come back the other way oh a bit of confusion this time [Music] here goly now want a yellow against in glacer but really the confusion there was who the free kick was so Noah langerak just needs control of the game both coaches here not happy as Jalil Ru now t with bringing it back into play Ru plays it to sper go white has to come back to his captain his drivers hope out wide to Adam now down one player just under half an hour of football still left to go off he was the player charged with the crime of the ble kick that connected with the head of Ross archal who’s been held from the field with a serious looking concussion issue pretty solid contact at the replay of that one again had to check had to check that again because there’s a lot happening there was an appeal for a hand ball against Jak Marshall that was a good shout for gly so swings and roundabouts I guess and what could have perhaps been blown up for a spot kick for Gully and it ends up being a red card for ad kako but also a nasty injury for Ross archal but gly not for the first time this season down to 10 men and up against it but they’re still looking to control the possession of this game kro sent off twice this season now sh is also sent off as well as Josh hope Jamie leam as well on in the team today out with yellow card accumulation L also sent off in that same game as Adam gets to the by line and plays it across it’s over the head of T at the back post giving Chase he’s got the unuci in support J is available as well to try and Supply the cross and he floats it into the back post area Harvey Lopez coming and climbing the flag was up for offside nonetheless against Mo adamu battling with Sawyer hi clears still no change made by gly as good ball there from Tava looks to swing it out wide to Mo Adam it’s a foot race there between Adam and Lampard Lampard wins that battle and it will be a throw gal deep right wing they were a man down Steve they’re still doing very much of the more of the attacking more possession and more play in the final third for goly just can’t be just not clinical that’s the only thing that’s missing after losing adako who’ been looking in a really good shift up front again as he’s been in good form of late as Adam kako and he was going for the Bal kick into the top corner but connecting with Ross archal and no anger at making the decision he was straight into the back pocket to pull out the red card as well FS oning what he’s seeing out there at the moment from the 10 men basically playing with no number nine now if you have a look they’re just leaving those South M Central Defenders unoccupied and You’ imagine that it’s only moments before estan Quint Subs out one of those three center backs and maybe puts on more an attacking option as the sub there Jack painter Andrews has come on to replace Ross archal getting involved in the play for a free kick and does win the free Kick this time probably a cheap free kick as referee will bring it back The Young referee from Midel long reg he’s had his hands full today that’s for sure Chance full now Shrivers goes wide looking for Mo Adam Ru Kiama conected run plays it up field but too many blue shirts as GL happy to see that one go over the line you mentioned Steve maybe uh bring on an attacker as they do have still Andy Brennan on the bench who definitely can score a goal or two so maybe a Defender off play more of a taking style at the moment haven’t really pressured Driscoll in the game so maybe something to think about Quintas would be quieter in the second half Steve than what he was in the first chat with his assistant at the moment he’s Zach SPI trying to get forward B Gully throw de right back celebrates his 20th birthday on Monday so good to see him getting some more match minutes another youngster who debuted in that game a few weeks ago against Manning United Blues first appearance in the starting 11 that week for South along with also hson and M mov all got their first starts in that particular fixture here’s Marsh goes wide poo Andrews good work there pushing wide now South going forward bit more it’s a chance for Yankovic Nia dropping deep to pick this one up goes wide again cross comes into the box there Brenan couldn’t get there in time pay Andrew squares it they’re lining up he shoots it’s off the post Pelos and it goes in for a goal finally Steve we’ve got an open up a good move by South and it was inevitable wasn’t it they haven’t attacked too many times in this second half but second half up Amy posos was on Target off the under side of the crossbar in good work down the right hand side by sou as they built up the play and they were basically killing up for it in the penalty area the ball played forward down the line and low ball across the box it’s what did the damage in the end saw was looking to get on the end of it but in the end it was Emy posos and that’s the goal that separates the two sides and that put South Melvin on the live ladder 10 points clear of the chasing bunch of Avendale and also the Oakley cannons the assist goes to Jack painter Andrews it was kman composed from him the two substitutes combining and Emmy p getting himself on the score sheet for the second time this season the former Mourne City Academy player doing good things in the blue of South Melbourne that could be a critical goal that sees them going very close to lifting that premier’s title for 2024 Max Micha coming off Andy Brennan coming on so Nichola getting a well earned WR come on MO come on keep going go chance for Brena now to get some key minutes in Micha to get a rest and now gly now task with trying to find The Equalizer down a player get a South melbour Side Steve who don’t allow too many goals it’s going to be a tough ask absolutely and having the luxury of bringing on Harrison Sawyer at half time man you brunen Midway through the second half against a 10man green goly side that’s hadak marched down the tunnel it’s certainly all coming up at the moment Josh H on the far side Greenly a bit of a whimper here and get themselves back into this one they want to have any hope of playing finals they need to find a couple of goals here with only 10 players at their disposal fails on made one sub in the match last week looks on from the sidelines pensively oh reg caught in two minds and again Harrison Sawyer as good Strikers do gambling on that mistake happening many Defender might have tried to KN that one back to their keeper and thought twice about it and eventually he would have been playing a through ball too Harrison so if he tried to do that sters looking for some options further a [Music] field with three Center as the further forward Central player at the moment Defenders those Central Defenders the three big units they’re all unoccupied SC looking to attack down the flanks to again playing is something of a false nine at the moment after the send off of kako Here’s Hope out wide is Justin SPI he got Mo Adam ahead of him calling for movement easy defending at moment for the South boys just holding their positions moving from left to right this is ianucci he’s got painter Andrews to beat as well as Emy posos and painter Andrew away with the football again ad ahead of the ball and Josh hop is going to try luck from distance but it would take something special to beat Harvey Lopez from the best part of 30 yard there Alex yeah bit of a hope that time and not going to trouble Lopez from that distance needed to be a little bit higher for him to least also there’s a chance now as South Melbourne are in control of the game and just happy to move it around freely no need to give away possession or the ball happy to just wait for an option becomes available before they pull the trigger as they go forward now another ding ball across field it’s a good ball chance for painter Andrews he keeps it in Sun starting to shine at green g reserve the cross comes into the box flicked on for Brennan just couldn’t get clutch there sorry Harrison Sawyer flicked out quickly Adam has sper in front C although have joined the majority of the position in attacking they are down a goal they played some decent football today but it’s going to be like this a fifth straight defeat to South mour the green Gully in npl football pressure on ER kund here Andy Brenan the fresh legs really putting him under the pump and South melv win the throw Jack painter Andrews is the under study for the max Micha long throw so they’ve got the option there with Micha being subbed out but P Andrew is available to send this one in and we can see glaz and Yankovic both going forward Jake Marshall’s going to stay back on the halfway line and cool his Jets goly with all their available players just the 10 of them left out there in the penalty area to defend this one in by painter Andrews gag with a strong head up and only succeeded in playing it back to painter Andrews who Voli cross was too high for everyone well read by who got their first in fact had cross the touch line over near the players race and be a throw to the [Music] Cavaliers 70 minutes gone at Green Valley Reserve South M with the one n lead courtesy of Emy posos still no change from Green Gully so interesting call here a man down almost an hour football played and ramman Fs on yet to make a change as Kiama TOA pull it out wide to speri anui switching over to the right hand side this time Shrivers looking up field nothing on front in front of him goes wide again to anui Ru Center Circle can go further now goes wide again to Mo Adam got to take his marker on Mo Adam now taking on paying to Andrews goes to T back to Kiama again now Kama looking up nothing really on in front of him here so sth just happy with what G are doing at the moment no pressure at all SP out wide on the right hand side T in the middle of the park plays in one two good work there from anucci inci shoots it’s a bit of a scrubber and easy pick up there for Javier Lopez way through the challenges on the edge of the area but maybe he just needed to try and play it across the box and hope someone would be arriving at the back post even still the reduction of from going from 11 to 10 it’s made it such hard work for this Cavaliers side who tried so hard to control possession and get the ball moving and have good positive ball progression but it’s just got certainly for the Cavaliers fans here frustrating occasion with it all coming to nothing and getting even more difficult going behind One n to South it’s not a position you want to be in South so good at Hanging On to these leads particularly against 10 players as well makes things more difficult as they’re just playing the ball backwards and forwards across their three Central defenders in and they’re going to try and come forward through lebard is the target sliding in was flag was up for offside decision against Zack and we talk about coaches not making sub sometimes Chris Taylor’s probably the most well known for that although he has changed his ways in recently times making some more changes more frequently Ramen felon still yet to go to his bench we have played 73 minutes here at greeny Reserve now hello to everyone tuning in on the live stream wherever you may be watching and hello to Joel’s watching from EAS long this afternoon hope you’re enjoying this match South Melbourne getting so close to claiming the premier title for this season 10 points clear on the live ladder now of aale and Oakley in second and third respectively those two teams will be lining up in a real game of the round straight after this one at 3:00 so don’t go anywhere after the conclusion of this match on the npl Victoria live streams we’ve got all the action covered for you green doy again enjoying a lot of possession but trailing in this one and man advantage that South have just keeps coming handy one cleared Away by Marshall qu has just knocked over his little esy that he usually sits on not happy with that clearance so well forly doesn’t get much EAS in next week Port Melbourne aend Saturn Melbourne Knights so their race to the top six is getting harder and harder each week while for South Melbourne they’ve got obviously Dy City Port Melbourne aend s Auburn so you feel like Steve if they can get a result today and a result next week against Dy City that pretty much they’ve wrapped up the Premiership plate that’s right it will be that short turn that will be on Friday night that fixture so the playing today on the Saturday then Tuesday against Hume ball was splitting the defense but it was also bit too much on it just as vieria un able to chase that one down they’re getting very close now might be without a couple of players i’ say w expect to see Ross archol out there in any of those games coming up this week after that concussion scared that he suffered in the second half here and maybe Robert hiding as well with an ankle injury picked up in the first [Music] half good work that time from Emy P there so a chance now for South Melbourne to bring it back in not in a rush to bring it back into play they know the area control of the game as Panther Andrews now looks to bring it in Long throw straight to Ru hope got three blue shirts to beat here still going hope good work gets around a fourth good running there t now Challenge from posos what a good run from Josh hope there sling you through several challenges he’s battled hard all day Joshua uh Joshua hop you know that he’s trying to create something as that time it’s headed back to Harvey Lopez hope once again making a [Music] run much quieter second half for Javier Lopez first half he was under the pump a little bit with Corners that were coming in from Gully made one crucial save from has a chance now for spti good work there fromunda and that’s going to be a gully ball have just joined us it’s the MS go that separates the two sides after coming on in the second half he scored on 65 minutes after adoc kako was sent off on 54 minutes for a bis kick that connected with Ross Arch bol’s head rather than the ball sh straight Red by referee no langerak two decisive moments in this second half after a KGI first 45 saw a few chances where the defens of both sides W outly trying to build up here again can they get a goal just to make things interesting in the last 15 minutes of this one regag in possession has tried hard all afternoon L possession here again’s ball through Brennan flag stays down for Andy Brennan he’s got Sawyer in the middle he floats it across and well played by Strivers who got in to make a crucial interception with the ominous figure of Harrison Sawyer lurking only meters behind him yeah you had to get there first but also had to direct it away from go we’ve seen plenty of times they go in the back of the net so another chance here for South Melbourne now really good piece of craft by sh is able to as you mentioned there Al direct that away from the goal despite running Full Tilt back at your own goal amazing what some of these players can do the finest skills particularly in the defensive section of the field that can sometimes go on heralded CH is going to take this corner kick he’s got the short option of Andy Brennan into the breeze here he does go short to Brennan and then the overlapping run from posos is ignor as Brenan sends it in it’s Away by sh and it hangs in the breeze race here Andrew’s got there first forward by glaz straight up the field to Sawyer played by Jal reg it’s been solid today Jalil really made a difference in defense up and down the white shirt and shorts there as reg to show for it as G look to finally make a change 78 minutes as will keep it in go short to K there’s something left in the tank here for gly shers is going to be Ali will be the player brought on Mo Adam something about to take place Mo Adam trying to get on the end of this pass but unable to find his attacker and it’s going to be halting play for a free kick sou will enable that sub to take place so Ali K the 19yearold has one goal in the cup competition this season making his 21st appearance in the match day sport this season but largely used as a substitute too many minutes he gets a bit of a chance here for the last 10 minutes or so of this one as Adam going off around the far side of the park taking the long way around getting some high fives and congratulations from the gly Faithful over The Far Side maybe some family and friends over there too Alex yeah he’s done his job today Mo had to play against sometimes at two Defenders and it’s made life difficult good work from ker there quickly taken by poo Andrews long throw gets it into Sawyer now Sawyer on the edge of the Box good work there from drivers K has to clear hope got to be careful not to lose it here kmer again now puts a ball up forward but it’s all blue shirts here now there opportunity for Marshall Yankovic South looking for a second goal or pinch there by kley but no one’s home they go back to Lopez 10 minutes left to go here has got one last chance in there as Lopez got plenty of options to choose from goes to Pope South now controlling the game ball up field it’s a lovely ball now chance for speri making a ding run trying to get around his marker but good work that time for era still in and a foul given away there by SP by would have liked to have maybe had more impact on this game coming in Jamie the starting he’ll be next week Jamie we saw him here checking out the action with a few of the green gly track suited up plays that aren’t involved in the match Squad today big fixes coming up on the npl Victoria there and Ru will get a yellow card so J Ru goes into the books that’s his fourth yellow of the Season he sold a bit short by that pass there it looked like an innocuous situation for souths after for gly should I say and then they almost sold themselves into trouble in fact well they did really with that Pelos has been good since coming on he’s got the goal for him and has made some good runs and medical come out make sure he’s okay so very good distance here for Harrison Sawyer scor from a similar distance in that cup fixt con watch the replay that kick comedy C is really def G forced to make the professional foul really to their blushes they still could pay for this another South Melvin injury this is turning into a bit of a micro crisis here for South with three games in seven days we saw that fantastic work by the south Melvin social media team with that picture of Andy brenn exasperated face holding a drink of water in a postmatch photo from a previous game captioned with their heavy schedule of matches this match today here against Greenly in the league Tuesday night at home against H City in the semi-final of the docky cup and then Friday night in the league again against d city as they chase cup and League success it’s a heavy workload and some of these players going down like 10 Bren now will he go for goal he just chips it up into the box cleared away from speri hard chased by Yankovic and it will be a corner South now brenen comes over looks to whip it into the box eight minutes to go plus stoppage time there’ll be at least five minutes you would say Steve with the head Clash there to Archer B like Sting is G out of this game a little bit now was Brenan really taking his time to go over and take this corner kick gly with everyone back in their own penalty area wind howling now so it’s favoring that side as Brennan whips it in low hope gets there first oh late challenge there on Brennan felt that one too now here of the way forc the painter Andrews Brennan’s back on his feet shot comes in and that’s gone wide looked dangerous from that side there in that tackle there they can’t afford to let Andy Brenan go down as well Steve into a war of attrition this game so back in possession here this is jcef get numbers behind the ball T worked hard all day good challenge for p Andrews good work there from Brennan they go back to Ru hi now got a bit of space TOA can go wide to SPI SAA numbers behind the ball waiting for it across here anui trying to twist his way out of trouble still going inci gets click from behind there referee waves him on Sawyer Sawyer and Shrivers now Shrivers gets back into position good work there by the captain trisal calmly back the drivers and a chance now for goly to bring it out still persisting with the three Central Defenders that they started with at the start of the match despite being up against the 10 grandly plays now balls off Target from gly left back it’s going to be a yellow card here this time not for a player it’s been shown to R on for his part in the discussions that are going on he’s not too pleased about it four time Championship winning coach in nlwa had a good run since coming across the Nall to Green Gully his first loss last week in that 3-2 now berer against danong City a misfortune week before with Dan on Kinder coming back with that late late goal through the goalkeeper Pierce Clark Pi Clark got his head on a injury time opportunity last week against South as well which I only found out about she replaying the lead up to this game today certainly a busy boy in the opposing penalty area as P clar two weeks in a row imagine if he had have scored a second goal in as many weeks the championship race closer as well if that Haden the Premiership race is uh South Melbourne there 10 points clear on the live ladder right now aale and Oley seven points behind now 10 points behind on the live ladder they’ll be in action at 3:00 so that match coming up in just over 10 minutes from Avenger Park it’s going to be a big game that one wait to see how that one plays out good quality the park for both teams in that one separate two sides still still plenty of coaching from the sidelines from estan quas you can hear that through our effect mik as gly try and show the ball from one side of the park to the other they’ve sent Jal forward as a auxiliary Center forward here can he be the hero the call cleared by Lampard can he be the hero J Ru he a somewhat of a prolific goal scorer last season at uh his previous season at Port Melbourne he’s not been as prolific this year has Jal in front of go but one this year dangerous set pieces looks to open up that one’s going to stay wide bit of a wor burner in the tire legs out there as Josh hope thumps the ground with his right hand so two minutes ago fourth official yet to put up how many added Min will be South Melbourne now in the box seat as Steve said they’ll be 10 points clear with the game between Oakley and Avendale after this Brennan now holds it up shers just goes for the line painter Andrews comes across yeah is there one last goal in this game South just happy to take as much time off the clock as they can they go back all the way thing GL painter Andrew cross comes in looks good off the boot SP brings it down goes wide to kle looks up field nothing really y has to hold it up South get numbers behind the ball they turn it over Pelos now Las a one two they can go wide painter Andrews now Pelos needs to get back on side cross came in but cleared by Shrivers Pope brings it under control heading to the final minute it’s like it’s six minutes of at a time a long delay for that injury is the confirmation from fourth official blackes six minutes so only a time to go in this one if somehow if we can see some more late drama but sawy is going to try and kill this game off back to goal posos now Brenan Sawyer again first time ball loed in by P off the back of dris and out for a corner kick well the young man has lit up this match since coming on as a sub and he nearly had a brace couldn’t have been much closer there just a liak of pain off that one going in the back of the net there Alex yeah almost coming off drisol luckily he went wide but South once again and paleos has really turned the game since he’s come on the youngster given Opportunity by es Bank Quintas and he’s rewarded him with three points here south now from the corner a low rubbing ball oh it’s flicked on inui just clears wherever he can it falls for Lampard another chance for South now cross comes in from Lampard Brenham was behind Pope shouts for hand ball still going hope just has to get rid of it slid past the challenge nicely now out there today he’s got five minutes left to go TOA self try to get numbers behind the ball hope again goes wide but the pass wasn’t as good oh good work there from ker and NCI now the slide coming in that time from Eng had to make it contact with the ball quickly taken they’re really going for it now gy can they pinch a late one here [Music] anui and that one from hope that time just a bit too heavy some tied legs out there Steve was the target waiting in the Box for that one to come through cross there the came melin’s going to take the throw here and just taking their time with the throw Andrew send down the line looking for Sawyer it’s going to be a race here Saw’s going to try his luck from distance that was ambitious he was off balance was always swerving away from the goal and int L here get the ball going quickly dris goal KCK to and now Ali K only sub to come on the park for Gully raon FS on side so far this afternoon tired legs out there for these Gully players they’ve been playing with 10 men since the 54th minute when you saw sending off out this is good play Froman he floats it over to the back post hung in the air lampard’s head up caught in the breeze and he fin succeed in poting it out for a greeny corner kick so a chance for the set piece and Le Driscoll is interested in doing a bit of a pier clock here Alex yeah they have to now it’s all or nothing we play two and a half minutes so last roll of the dice you feel like but they’ve got to be careful here cuz South get the hold of the ball it’s an open goals cross comes in H to float up Ru got up there headed away adris has to get back now they go back for another chance another cross into the box oh headed backwards carefully oh it’s open goal now it’s a foot race now pain to Andrews get Brennan in the middle plays it in and K there hias is chasing hard and Drisco still not back in his C save he’s sling up up in the southen ball on reg is there Jal reg he’s got Marshall to be in fact it was inaz glaz did well to into the box Arial jeel here headed by Driscoll just to clear it away it’s going to break for Harrison Sawyer here it was a good bit of tracking back by J before to get back and clear up the danger when painter Andrews virtually had an open goal from a wide position out on the flank wasn’t able to get the purchase on it to make it across into the goal [Applause] itself just about last roll of the DI here for gly reg gets there first he’s been busy since he’s been thrown forward as a emergency Red Alert sort of situation Striker gly need a goal here to just try and give them some hope the finals race slipping away with what looks like consecutive defeats this is a good first touched by Emy posos he’s only got one goal this afternoon and struck the upright as well Harrison saw is given the foul away here and he goes into the book for his troubles as well a pretty needless yellow card to concede you’d think but going to go take this one quickly here’s L his e yellow card Harrison so so a striker in the cor picked up as many yellow cards I dare say there’s not a cross comes in or it’s headed back again Ru I should have maybe kept in for Hope chance speri came flying in hope he just had to keep it down and that sails Over the Bar G have absolutely throwing everything they can at this one it’s been a spirited effort by the 10 men of Greenly against the doged South Melvin defense that’s lined up with five across the back three Central Defenders and Wing backs today they’ve had no adako since the 54th minute when he was sent off only using the substitutions B Just the once as well these players have worked so hard out there and they haven’t given up hope was so close there had he been able to keep his shot down to taking a share of the points and that’ll be it South take a big victory here against a very determined green Gully to the so goal from Emil Pelos and in a just had too much that extra man Advantage was just enough for him but credit to goes to Green Gully they tried and tried all day to break through but just the defense of South held up Steve and in the end that so goal from pelet was enough for South to take home three points and quite possibly give themselves the Premiership play as we see in front of us the two managers Ram felon and estan qu hugging it out in front of us a real bit of affection we’ll get that on camera there good work Jordan for sports cast Australia as well behind the camera to give you the best look at the action from the comfort of your own home this afternoon an enthralling encounter maybe if you’re a uh a fan of high-scoring shootouts certainly didn’t have that for you but it was a tactical na of estan Quintas up against the expert coach from wa Ron FS on and Mr van Quintas with such depth available to him on the bench it was the subs that come on to make a difference Jack P Andrews setting up Emy posos who fired the only goal of the game into the back of the net on 65 minutes and that gives South mour that 10-point leave on the lead on the live ladder and they’re so close now to that Premier title for season 2024 we look forward to seeing that match kicking off in a minute Avendale and the
