STALLIONS BOW OUT OF CUP IN THRILLER
The Marconi Stallions have bowed out
of the Tiger Turf Cup after a nail-biting loss to Sydney Olympic at
Belmore Sports Ground.
The entertaining quarter final
showdown was played at a fast pace and eventually decided by penalties
after the scores were locked at 2-2 at the end of regulation time.
Young sensation Chris Triantis
opened the scoring for Olympic before Tolgay Ozbey squared the ledger
for the Stallions. Emmanuel Zunino restored the hosts' lead only for
Ante Deur to once again even things up.
Nahuel Arrarte appeared to have
given the Stallions the edge when he netted from the penalty spot in
extra time. Olympic, however weren't done with and with only five
minutes left, Triantis sent the game to penalties with his second of
the match.
Olympic keeper and former Stallion
Michael Herbet, was the hero during the dramatic shoot-out, pulling
off two terrific saves to send Olympic through to the semis.
