Missed the Men’s National Premier League Round 17? Here’s your wrap-up!

IN A NUTSHELL

Croatia needed three to get past Tigers at the AIS, two coming from similar set-pieces, Gungahlin were narrow winners over Olympic with Seb Usai in stunning form in between the posts for the visitors, Panthers swept past Yoogali off the back of a Roko Strika brace and, a week after throwing away a two-goal lead against Tigers, Tuggeranong came back from two-down to draw with the Knights.

GOAL OF THE WEEK

A thumping hit from O’Connor Knights central defender Kristian Tokic, who left fly from distance and buried a cracker for the home side to put them 2-0 ahead at O’Connor Enclosed against Tuggeranong. The match ended 2-2.

PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK

Seb Usai. The Olympic goalkeeper was simply brilliant for his team, despite losing 0-1 against Gungahlin United at the AIS. Usai made a series of unbelievable saves, including a pearler to deny Riley Brown, and a two acrobatic reflex stops to keep out Romeo. The custodian deserved more than to lose the fixture.

TEAM OF THE WEEK

COMING SOON

The Knights head to solar Mad as one of a trio of games on Saturday afternoon as they play Yoogali, the Panthers are at home to the table-topping Gunners in the evening match at the Riverside, whilst Olympic and Tigers clash. On Sunday, Croatia welcome Tuggeranong to Deakin Stadium.
