Hume defeat a struggling Preston
outfit
Wednesday 22
April 2009
(FFV)
- After a week off due to the Easter break both teams
refreshed took the field at Valley Park to kick start
their season after an indifferent first six weeks.
Hume City in front of their home crowd dominated the first
half with Tony Sterjovski putting in a number of dangerous
crosses, with chances going begging until the 12th minute
when Tansel Baser found himself on the end of another
Sterjovski trademark to put the home team up 1-0.
Ross Thompson came close at the 23rd minute volleying from
the edge of the box with no result.
Preston Lions missed a golden opportunity against the tide
and missed its chance to level the match when Robert
Dolevski broke clean only to his shot just wide after
being one on one with experienced keeper Louie Acevski.
The referee ended the first half with Hume City dominating
the Preston Lions.
The second half kicked off in ordinary fashion with the
tempo in the match almost non existent.
With both teams lacking urgency, experienced midfielder
Blaze Georgioski took a shot outside the box after taking
on the Hume defence only to spray the ball wide of the
goals.
Getting a sniff of the goals Georgioski followed up with
another brilliant shot this time going over the crossbar.
With Preston giving the home side a wake up call, Issy
Erdogan decided to take the match by its horns with a
brilliant run through the midfield and putting in sliding
cross to Zoran Petrevski who put the ball in the back of
the net with a great header.
Hume City 2-0 up at the 60 minute mark, lifted a gear and
with Preston's keeper Damir Salcin sent off at the 65th
minute mark turned the match into a training drill with
substitute Caner Ucarli chipping the keeper and putting
the ball through the goals to go 3-0 up.
At the 75th minute mark Ross Thompson showed his class
with hard running through the midfield and a brilliant
shot on goal only for the ball to be cleared off the line
by the Lions defence.
Caner Ucarli continued the attack on the Lions goal
setting up Alfonso Opazo who put the ball past the Lions
keeper to take the score to 4-0 at the 77th minute mark.
Getting a taste for goal, Zoran Petrevski kicked the 5th
goal at the 88th minute and Nick Harrhy put the final nail
in the coffin scoring at the 89th minute mark to send a
distraught Preston Lions outfit home losing 6-0.
