Review of last Sunday’s match – Hakoah Sydney City East 2 – Rockdale City Suns 3 at Hensley Athletic Field

Rockdale City Suns maintained their impeccable record with a 3-2 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s victory against Hakoah Sydney City East.

The home side had the better of the first half chances but didn’t capitalise on them and this allowed Rockdale City Suns to go into the break a goal up thanks to a strike from Aleks Canak.

Goals to Harris Gaitatzis and Jordan early in the second half stretched Rockdale’s lead to three by the 65th minute.

Hakoah mounted a spirited fight back with two late goals to Bradley Walker and Paul Orgad but it wouldn’t to be for the Gavin Rae coached side as Rockdale clung on for all three points.
