Wanderers Triple Treat Defeats Bankstown Lions

Goals to Labinot Haliti, Jason Trifiro and Nicolas Olsen scored for the Western Sydney Wanderers in a relatively straightforward hit-out where nearly the entire team was substituted at half-time.

The class of the Wanderers was apparent in both halves, with Bankstown making very few chances against the solid Wanderers defence. Aaron Mooy once again showed his own personal class by providing Haliti with his goal-scoring chance via a nicely taken free kick. Mooy was a standout yet again.

Almost the entire team was subbed at half-time. Haliti stayed on the pitch, with Tarek Elrich and Kubi being the pick of the name players to come on for the second stanza. Kubi made several darting runs and clattered a Lions player towards the end of the match.

This was the final pre-season match for the Wanderers. Their next public appearance will be on Thursday October 4 at the Wanderers Season Launch.

Western Sydney start their inaugural A-League campaign against the Central Coast Mariners on Saturday the 6th of October.

No more friendlies. No more second chances. This is the real deal now. The A-League is here and so are the Wanderers and we shall still be here in 200 years time.
