Stallions through in upset

The Brimbank Stallions stunned Altona Magic to win through to the sixth round of the Australia Cup on Wednesday night.

The Stallions, an FV state league 1 north-west side, were the underdogs against the National Premier League top tier side.

But it was the Stallions that came out on top.

The Stallions took the lead in the 24th minute through Sota Adachi before doubling the margin just before half time through Aaron Smith.

The Stallions kept the pressure on in the second half and were able to maintain their lead to win, 2-0.

Stallions coach Andrew Marth had said before the game they would take plenty of confidence into the game.

The Stallions are one of three state league sides through to the last 10 so far. Another three are in action this week

Joining the Stallions in the next round are the St Albans Saints.

The Saints won through with a 2-0 win against Whittlesea United.

United had its chances in the first half, but Saints keeper Gabriel Matti made some amazing saves.

The Saints came out the better of the teams after half time and scored two quick goals through Christopher Dib and George Ott.

United couldn’t get back into the game with the Saints holding on.

Westvale Olympic’s run came to an end against Northcote City on Tuesday night.

It was a comfortable win for Northcote, claiming the win 3-0.

Westgate had been knocked out of the competition the previous week.

Keilor Wolves and Melbourne Knights will be hoping to move through to the next round this week.

The Wolves, a state league 4 side and the lowest ranked teams left in the competition, face NPL side Hume City in the biggest match in the club’s history.

The Melbourne Knights are on the road against Box Hill United.
