South Melbourne FC defeated Avondale FC 2-0 at Knights Stadium on Friday night to confirm six straight wins in the month of April. Nick Epifano’s first half penalty and a late goal from centre-forward Milos Lujic ensured three points for Chris Taylor’s side against a difficult Avondale side.

South started the game positively but struggled to create clear-cut opportunities in front of the determined Avondale defence. On 24 minutes, referee Alessandro Arbizzani spotted a handball in the area by Baki Efe and pointed to the spot, where Chris May dived the right way but could not stop Epifano scoring from the spot. South should have gone into the break 2-0 up when Kristian Konstantinidis’ low cross from the right side was somehow missed by three incoming South players, with Avondale let off the hook.

The home side certainly had the better of the second half, with South goalkeeper Nikola Roganovic to thank for making several excellent saves to preserve the away team’s clean sheet. Former South NSL player Massimo Murdocca was substituted onto the field on the hour mark and caused his former club plenty of headaches down the right side of the field. Unfortunately for Avondale, they failed to capitalise on all opportunities they created, with Murdocca, Michele Crazia, Omar Ammache and Oleksiy Khrapko all either putting chances wide or being denied by Roganovic saves.

At the other end, what looked like a handball by May outside his goalkeeping area was missed by the referee as South tried to get a second goal to kill off the game. They did eventually get a second goal with what proved to be the final action of the game, when Lujic found himself one-on-one with May deep into injury time before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into the empty net to seal a hard-fought but very important 2-0 win on the road.

It was further good news in the Under 20s, with goals from Maker Maker (10′) and Brandon Jansz (73′) helping South Melbourne get back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory against Avondale FC.

South returns to Knights Stadium on Friday night for what is shaping up to be a big Melbourne derby against the Melbourne Knights. Kick-off is at 8:30pm.

SMFC Melbourne City Toyota Man of the Match: Nikola Roganovic
Venue: Knights Stadium
Date: Friday 29 April 2016

South Melbourne FC plays the first of two consecutive PS4 NPL Victoria matches at Knights Stadium when it travels there to face Avondale FC on Friday night.

Avondale is using Knights Stadium as its home base in 2016 and will welcome the challenge of hosting South. Anthony Barbieri’s side lost their opening five matches in 2016 but have steadied and go into Friday’s game having won four matches in a row across all competitions. This includes three league wins and a 5-1 thumping of South Springvale in FFA Cup qualifying, elevating Avondale out of the relegation zone and into ninth place on the league standings.

Avondale have a wealth of experience in their team, with players such as Massimo Murdocca, Chris May, Jeffrey Fleming, Jonatan Germano, Matthew Sanders and Spase Dilevski having either been involved in the national league in recent times or having many years of experience playing in Victoria’s top flight. One player in good form has been Oleksiy Khrapko, who scored Avondale’s first goal in the 2-1 win at Port Melbourne last round.

South also goes into the game in excellent form, having defeated Melbourne Victory’s NPL team 1-0 at Lakeside Stadium last Sunday to confirm five straight wins across all competitions. Milos Lujic scored the winning goal with an excellent header as South remained on top of the NPL Victoria ladder. Chris Taylor’s side will be wanting a sixth straight win in order to maintain their position at the top of the tree ahead of the derby against the Melbourne Knights next week.

With a recent heavy schedule of three games in seven days possibly starting to take its toll on his players, it will be interesting to see if Taylor gives other squad members a chance against Avondale.

Friday night’s match kicks off at 8:15pm at Knights Stadium.

South Melbourne FC won a fifth successive match across all competitions following its 1-0 win against Melbourne Victory’s NPL side at Lakeside Stadium on Sunday night. Milos Lujic’s header on the hour mark proved to be the difference as South maintained its position at the top of the PS4 NPL Victoria ladder after nine rounds.

The home side had a series of chances to open the scoring in the first half but was unable to do so. Matthew Millar hit a stinging shot that hit the crossbar before putting another chance wide of the goal after being put through one-on-one with goalkeeper Lucas Spinella.

Lujic also hit the crossbar with a shot early in the second half as a frustrated South continued to be denied an opening goal. The goal finally arrived just shy of the hour mark, when Schroen headed the ball to the back post for a lurking Lujic to head the ball back across Spinella’s goal and into the back of the net.

The home side searched for a second goal that would have killed the game off as a contest but it never came, with the tough schedule of three games in seven days perhaps finally taking its toll on the players.

Victory had the ball in the net in second half injury time, however the goal was rightly disallowed as Seb Pasquali was in an offside position at the time of captain Stefan Nigro’s initial shot.

The result was not good in the Under 20s, with Melbourne Victory enjoying a comprehensive 6-0 win against South Melbourne. It was the first loss for Brian MacNicol’s side in 2016.

South has a five-day turnaround before its next match against Avondale FC at Knights Stadium on Friday night. Kick-off is at 8:15pm.

SMFC Melbourne City Toyota Man of the Match: Matthew Foschini
Venue: Lakeside Stadium
Date: Sunday 24 April 2016

South Melbourne FC will be hoping to make it five straight wins across all competitions when it hosts Melbourne Victory’s NPL team at Lakeside Stadium on Sunday evening.

Chris Taylor’s side has won four tough matches in succession since losing to Richmond in late March and has managed to score in every league and cup match so far in 2016. South overcame a sluggish first-half performance at Paisley Park on Wednesday night to eventually defeat Altona Magic 3-0 and progress through to the Sixth Round of Westfield FFA Cup qualifying.

Taylor himself will be back in the dugout on Sunday, having served a one-match suspension following his dismissal against Oakleigh in last Sunday’s win. Under 20s coach Brian MacNicol took temporary charge of the team on Wednesday night and left several regular starting players on the bench or completely rested in order to be ready for Sunday’s match.

Brad Norton, Kristian Konstantinidis, Nick Epifano, Mathew Theodore, Brad Norton and Leigh Minopoulos did not feature at all in midweek, whilst Matthew Foschini and Iqi Jawadi – finally back after injury – only featured late in the match off the bench. Most of these players are expected to be back in the squad for the Victory match although some of their fellow teammates – Amadu Koroma in particular – played very well against Altona and may remain in the team on Sunday.

Melbourne Victory’s NPL team finished third in NPL 1 last season but won promotion after defeating North Geelong 2-0 in the Promotion Playoff in September 2015. Victory are currently in eleventh place on the ladder with seven points from their first eight matches and with four straight losses. They have struggled to score goals lately due to the absence of captain Joey Katebian and George Howard from the team (injury and first team duties respectively) but will note that South only got one point in meetings against Bulleen Lions and Richmond – the other two 2015 promoted teams – earlier in the season.

Sunday’s main match kicks off at 5pm, with the Under 20s match commencing at 2.30pm. SMFC will also be honouring the memory of the ANZACs in a short ceremony prior to the main game commencing.

Seating Arrangements

South Melbourne FC progressed to the Sixth Round of Westfield FFA Cup qualifying thanks to a 3-0 victory over Altona Magic at Paisley Park on Wednesday night.

There were six changes made from the starting eleven against Oakleigh, with Amadu Koroma, Stephen Hatzikostas, Chris Irwin, Andy Kecojevic, Tim Mala and Marcus Schroen back in the side. Kristian Konstantinidis was initially in the starting eleven but was replaced at the last minute by Luke Adams after pulling up sore in the warm-up. Brad Norton, Mathew Theodore and Leigh Minopoulos were completely rested whilst Matthew Foschini and Nick Epifano were on the substitutes’ bench.

Altona were the better side in the first half, restricting South to a couple of long-range shots whilst almost scoring themselves. Goalkeeper Nikola Roganovic kept the scores level firstly by denying Ben Clarke with a one-on-one save before later scrambling back to tip another goal-bound effort over the bar and out for a corner. With experienced VPL/NPL players throughout their side, Altona enjoyed a solid first half performance but it yielded no goals.

South improved in the second half and were awarded a penalty just after the hour mark when Irwin was fouled in the area by Joseph Sieh. Before Schroen could take the penalty kick, the Paisley Park lights – which had been playing up during the pre-game – stopped working and therefore play was suspended in order to fix them. After a 25 minute delay, the match finally resumed at the 64 minute mark and Schroen put South 1-0 up by tucking away his spot kick.

Altona should have had a penalty themselves in the 71st minute when Clarke went down in the area following a challenge by Michael Eagar but referee Lucien Laverdure instead booked Clarke for diving. Milos Lujic punished Altona even further just six minutes later when he pounced at the back post to score past Antony Loncaric and make the score 2-0. To make matters worse for the home side, captain Slave Bozinovski was given his marching orders just a minute later after committing a second bookable offence.

Defensive midfielders Foschini and Iqi Jawadi came on in the final ten minutes to steer South through the final stages of the match, with Jawadi making his first appearance in the team since 14 March. Deep into injury time, Lujic scored his second of the night with a tap-in, giving the big centre-forward ten goals from 10 games across all competitions in 2016.

South returns to NPL Victoria action on Sunday when it hosts the Melbourne Victory Youth at Lakeside Stadium. Kick-off is at 5pm.

FINAL SCORE: ALTONA MAGIC 0-3 SOUTH MELBOURNE (HT: 0-0)

Goal Scorers:
0-1: Marcus Schroen (64’p)
0-2: Milos Lujic (77′)
0-3: Milos Lujic (90+3′)

SMFC Melbourne City Toyota Man of the Match: Amadu Koroma
Venue: Paisley Park
Date: Wednesday 20 April 2016

South Melbourne FC travels to Paisley Park for the first time in over five years to face the Altona Magic in the Fifth Round of Westfield FFA Cup qualifying tonight.

Altona Magic were relegated from the old Victorian Premier League (now the NPL Victoria) in 2010 but are five-time VPL Champions (1995, 1996, 1997, 2008 and 2009) and regularly featured in the final series when they were in Victorian football’s top flight.

Many former VPL/NPL players are currently on the playing roster at the Magic, including Antony Loncaric, Ben Clarke, Jason Hayne, Slave Bozinovski (all ex-VPL), plus Benji Vahid, James Stefanou, Jonathan Munoz and Marinos Gasparis (all ex-South). With so many former VPL players now playing for them in State League One, it is little wonder that Altona have won their opening three league matches in 2016. Their most recent result was a 1-0 away victory against Banyule City on Saturday, however this came at a cost as striker Jon McShane received a red card and therefore misses the cup tie.

South coach Chris Taylor will most likely make some adjustments to his side that comfortably defeated the Oakleigh Cannons 4-1 in NPL Victoria action on Sunday evening. There may be opportunities given to Zaim Zeneli, Stephen Hatzikostas, Amadu Koroma, Chris Irwin, Luke Eyles and Philtzgerald Mbaka for a starting berth. Iqi Jawadi may finally return from injury and Andy Kecojevic did his chances of a recall to the first team no harm with a hat-trick in South’s Under 20s match against Oakleigh on Sunday.

Prior to returning to State League football in 2005, South had played against Altona several times in Dockerty Cup matches or in the old National Youth League competition and was reasonably successful. Since 2005, Altona Magic and South Melbourne have met 15 times for eight South wins, six Altona wins and one draw. Altona had the upper hand during home & away matches (six wins in 12 meetings) but South were superior in the finals, with a perfect three wins from three against Altona – all in 2006 – including the Grand Final victory (1-0) in September of that year.

The last meeting between the two sides was on 4 July 2010 at John Cain Reserve. Steve O’Dor scored two headed goals after 45 and 49 minutes, then Kyle Joryeff finished off the scoring on 83 minutes as South defeated Altona 3-1. Magic were relegated from the VPL at the end of the 2010 season and have been out of Victorian football’s top flight since then. Interestingly, South never won at Paisley Park between 2005 and 2010.

Tonight’s match kicks off at 7:30pm at Paisley Park. If the match is drawn, two 15-minute periods of extra time will be played, with penalties to decide the winner if the match is still level after extra time.

South Melbourne FC secured a third straight victory by defeating the Oakleigh Cannons 4-1 at Lakeside Stadium on Sunday evening. Chris Taylor’s men scored two goals in each half to comfortably win and continue a perfect 2016 home record of three wins from three matches.

With three matches in seven days (Oakleigh on 17 April, Altona Magic on 20 April, Melbourne Victory on 24 April), Taylor made two changes to the starting eleven that defeated the Bentleigh Greens last Sunday. Captain Michael Eagar and Leigh Minopoulos both started against Oakleigh, replacing Tim Mala and Marcus Schroen respectively. Schroen was completely rested ahead of the upcoming matches this week.

South got off to the perfect start after only eight minutes when centre-forward Milos Lujic got on the end of Brad Norton’s cross to head the ball back across goalkeeper John Honos and into the back of the net. The home side extended its lead on the half hour mark, when Matthew Millar took advantage of Oakleigh’s high defensive line to out-sprint the defence before tucking the ball to the right of Honos and into the back of the net. Shortly before the halftime break, Taylor was sent from the bench by the referee after disputing an earlier handball in the penalty area by an Oakleigh defender.

Peter Tsolakis’ Oakleigh side got themselves back into the match early in the second half when former South man Dimitri Hatzimouratis tucked away a cross from the right by-line from Goran Zoric. The comeback was short-lived though as Minopoulos – making his first league start in 2016 – headed home from a corner just three minutes later to restore South’s two-goal cushion.

The scoring was completed on 68 minutes when Honos parried a Lujic shot straight into the path of Minopoulos, who had no problems putting the ball into the unguarded net. The home side had several other opportunities to increase their lead but a combination of poor finishing and Honos saves kept the final score to 4-1. Oakleigh’s afternoon was made worse in injury time when defender John Black was given his marching orders.

It was further good news in the Under 20s as Andy Kecojevic scored a hattrick to secure a 3-2 win for Brian MacNicol’s South Melbourne side against the Oakleigh Cannons. The Under 20s have now recorded six wins and two draws from their opening eight matches and have been playing excellent football.

South only has a few days to recover before travelling to Paisley Park for the first time since 2010 to play State League One side Altona Magic in the Fifth Round of the FFA Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday night with kick-off at 7:30pm.

SMFC Melbourne City Toyota Man of the Match: Matthew Foschini
Venue: Lakeside Stadium
Date: Sunday 17 April 2016

South Melbourne FC will be looking for a third straight PS4 NPL Victoria victory on Sunday afternoon when it hosts the Oakleigh Cannons at Lakeside Stadium.

Chris Taylor’s men went three points clear of the Bentleigh Greens at the top of the league table after dramatically defeating them 2-1 at Lakeside last Sunday. Goalkeeper Nikola Roganovic made two penalty saves in the final ten minutes to win the three points for the home side and put South on a two-game winning run.

After missing the Hume game the previous round, Captain Michael Eagar was back in the squad against Bentleigh last Sunday and came on as a late substitute. Iqi Jawadi was still missing from the squad, having not played a match for South since the win at Port Melbourne in early March. With Taylor rarely changing a winning team, it will be interesting to see if either will feature against Oakleigh.

Peter Tsolakis and Con Tangalakis have started their time as Oakleigh coaches very nicely, with three wins, three draws and only one loss from their opening seven league matches. This has the Cannons sitting nicely in fourth spot on the NPL Victoria ladder and a win at Lakeside will bring them to within one point of South at the top of the ladder.

SMFC and Oakleigh have played against each other every season since South returned to the State League in 2005 (see table below). The two sides have drawn each other twice in the Dockerty Cup (2013 and 2015), with South prevailing 3-0 both times. The 2015 meeting was in the Dockerty Cup final, which South won with a second-half double from Milos Lujic and a further goal from Leigh Minopoulos.

Sunday’s match kicks off at 4pm at Lakeside Stadium.
