  • Haliti Screamer Sinks Blacktown City in 2-0 Trial Victory

    mack

    By mack

    A Labinot Haliti brace has rocked Lily Homes Stadium giving the Wanderers a 2-0 victory in their toughest hit-out to date.

     

    Ten minutes into the match Haliti took the ball on his left foot just outside the corner of the box. The resulting 20 yard shot slammed into the top corner to open the scoring for the Wanderers.

     

    Controlling the possession and tempo for the rest of the half Wanderers were in control but stoic City defence kept them out when Mark Bridge shot high after a nice passing movement between himself and Trifiro.

     

    The City defence weren't able to keep Haliti out, as he found his range from a Bridge pass and curled the ball for his second. The Wanderers took their 2 goal advantage into half-time.

     

    The 3,472 strong crowd watched as Blacktown turned the game on a more even keel with several substitutions from both sides. Despite numerous attacks from both teams the score remained 2-0 until the full time whistle.

     

    A solid match for the Wanderers as they continue their pre-season preparation. With less than 60 days to go until the A-League opener, manager Tony Popovic is sure to be impressed by the way the team has taken to his tactics. The team have yet to concede a goal, and are attacking and scoring quite freely.

     

    The next match scheduled for the Western Sydney Wanderers is on the 22nd of August, in two weeks time against Sydney United. However it is possible the club will announce another pre-season friendly to take place next week.

    Thanks for someone eventually answering me, as to who number 5 was.

    If number 5 is Caira, he seems a very poor signing.

    Well lets hope so.

    It would be good to know what players were trialling, and what numbers they were.

    Do you agree with him SW?

     

    According to him, our shots to goals ratio was 100%, bloody generous lad.

     

    Hahaha I posted that up as an example of people reading too much into things making foolish statements. I absolutely do not agree with those statements.

     

    I'm with everyone else Mooy is class.

    Letting off flares are a guarantee that you will be escorted off the ground and probabably banned from future matches. CCTV at Parramatta ( as well as all other A-league stadia)are pretty much full on so not much chance of anomininity.

    Besides, nobody wants another Hillsborough Tragedy, especially in our own backyard so, from a fellow wog-NO FLARES!!!!!

    Les, Hillsborough had nothing to do with flares and everything to do with a catastrophic failure of crowd management systems and processes that were the responsibility of the police and stewards. Your comment has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

    Im a wog so i might be biased but i dont see the problem with a flare or 2, you can buy them from any outdoor place like anaconda or BCF, just adds to the atmosphere, imagine when its time for our 1st game at parra with the RBB in a sea of red & black chanting away, we need to make an impression, & show pppl we mean business, a little bit of red smoke never hurt anybody? Lol

    Anyway, back on topic...

     

    Having a team sheet before the game starts would be awesome. I spent half the game trying to work a few numbers out, to no avail

    I enjoyed the match, appeared better movement overall. With more time together it just helps and game time is critical like this and the other two.

    Enjoy my short video i took of the RBB in the second half.
