Perth SC claimed a win over Mandurah City on Sunday afternoon with a 4 – 2 extravaganza at BGC Stadium - Dorrien Gardens. Andres Oliveira, Antonio Naglieria and David Onoforo were on target for Perth leading them into victory over the Mandurah side.
The first 20 minutes of the match looked doubtful for Perth as Mandurah had plenty of great opportunities to score with two near misses in the first 10 minutes.
The table was turned though when number 10 Andres Oliveira found himself space on the right hand side to shoot and score for Perth on the 25th minute.
The home side nearly scored again when they were awarded a free kick after Onoforo was fouled just outside the box, but number 23 Greg Sharland was unable to convert the free kick into a goal just missing the left goal post by centimeters.
In the 43rd minute Onoforo had a chance in a 1 on 1 with Green but the Mandurah Goalkeeper stood his ground and blocked the shot.
Mandurah’s players frustration on the pitch was evident as they picked up 3 yellow cards before the first half ended. Mandurah City looked a lot stronger in the second half this led to striker O’Callaghan scoring within 7 minutes forcing Perth SC out of their comfort zone.
Perth responded 7 minutes later when number 15 Antonio Naglieri scored to put the home side back in front.
Mandurah did not quit though as number 8 Andrew Brown equalized once again in the 61st minute with a shot inside the box putting the ball right into the back net.
In the 65th minute frustration was seen once again as number 5 from Mandurah Chris Currie was sent off the field for getting his second yellow card after talking back to the referee.
Mandurah tried their hardest to battle Perth with only 10 men but found themselves failing as Onoforo scored to put the home side in front on the 73rd minute with a simple goal from left side of the box.
Andres Oliveira scored his second goal of the match in the 88th minute to hand Perth SC there first win of the season.
