OAKLEIGH CANNONS NEWS
What??? Four Losses In A Row
South Melbourne defeated the Oakleigh Cannons on Friday night at Jack Edwards Reserve, 1-0.
South Melbourne had the majority of the possession early in the first half
Defensive errors by Oakleigh defender Neven Antic nearly gave South the early lead after he passed the ball back to keeper Griffin McMaster.
Unfortunately the back-pass was intercepted by South but the South player was unable to make Oakleigh pay.
After a slow start, Oakleigh started to get into the game.
Again Oakleigh striker Ricky Diaco collected the ball at the half-way line and gave it off to Ashley Savanah, who went for a good run down the left-hand side of the park.
Ashley played a nice cross into the box, however, the on-coming Oakleigh player was unable to get his head onto it.
Both Diaco and Savanah were playing well for Oakleigh.
Both teams settled down and were now playing some worthy football.
Oakleigh won a free kick on the half-way line but South’s keeper grabbed the ball unimpeded.
The first corner of the game went to Oakleigh, but a lack of communication between Antic and team-mate Jamie Cumming saw them both go for the ball and mess up a great opportunity.
The goal of the match came on the half-hour mark.
South’s Fernando De Moraes, stayed calm and struck it well into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
Both sides had a good first half but Oakleigh had been unable to put the finishing touches on their attacking moves.
Early in the second half, South had a thrust forward and shot on goal but Oakleigh’s goalkeeper did well to get his hand to it and stop a possible second goal to South.
Shortly after, Oakleigh’s Savanah was at it again, going for another amazing dash forward, earning Oakleigh another corner.
The ball eventually dropped at Jerry Karpeh feet but his shot from close range was saved by the South keeper.
Oakleigh started to press forward mid way through the second half but were unable to capitalise
The second half was much the same as the first – both sides playing well and creating opportunities.
Late into the second half Oakleigh was peppering the South goal, but just couldn’t seem to find the equaliser.
With just one round remaining in season, Oakleigh should be able to hold onto their finals spot.
Oakleigh take on Altona Magic next week in another home game.
