Thanks for the feedback on the last recap, keep it coming. This time I wanted to take a look at the Academy teams, also instead of a blurb on the player of the match I’ll try to give some love to an unsung hero – goal scorers will get their flowers naturally but I want to try and highlight the other players securing the result.
Sydney City vs. Stockholm IK
These two clubs have topped the table all season. Holding serve in each of their home matches against one another, and mostly dominating other opponents. That is until Sydney on the road was held to a single point against Atletico last week. This match is on Sydney’s home turf, with the added motivation from last week’s disappointing result will they take out their anger on Stockholm? Or will Stockholm find a way to win on the road against a talented Sydney side?
Atletico Medellin vs. Victoria Falls Eagles
Atletico had been the punching bag for the first half of the season, earning no wins and owning a massive negative 26 goal differential. Some tactical changes earned them an impressive draw in their last game against a fearsome Syndey squad. Victoria Falls is just taking shape, being the team most recently formed after a fresh intake of academy talent. Will Atletico earn their first win of the season or will Victoria take flight?
