Reserves vs Flinders University
It was a professional display by Adelaide Villa. After being eliminated by this side in the cup round weeks ago, they returned the favour in style.
Playing in very average conditions, Adelaide Villa maintained their composure all 90 minutes to easily win 4 goals to nil and continue on their goal in winning the league. Rick Calabria started the goal tally 15 minutes in with a surging run down the right creating a one on one opportunity with the keeper and comfortably slotting the ball between keeper and front post.
Only minutes later, a beautiful run down the right again from Musolino was cut back beautifully for Michele Galeano to clinically slot the ball in the back of the net giving the keeper no chance.
With the great control in defence, led by Joe Stiltano, Tony Vello, Nick Scalzi and Nick Economou, the home side never looked threatening on goal in the first half.
Adelaide Villa started shaky in the second half with Flinders having a couple of scoring chances early which were stopped by Ex- Socceroo and international super star Jamie Ellul.
From then on, Villa controlled the game and the great work from David Scalzi, Danielle Galeano, Michael Musolino, Paul Harwood and Michael Guiliano opened up the Flinders defence.
It was a swerving cross from Michael Musolino on the right wing which beat the keeper to make it 3 nil, although he will tell you that it was a shot on goal....
Then...... super sub Matthew Finnocchio sealed the win with two goals in two games for the super striker when he tapped in (eyes closed) a shot from a great Danielle Galeano cross.
Congratulations on the great win boys and also Congrats to Ross Longo on his leadership and guidance in achieving this great result. Jamie's man of the match: Easy, Michael Musolino.
PS- Lets get behind the A squad! With only few games to go, the race for promotion is very tight at lets be honest, they are the team that will push us into Div 1!
So try to hang around for their game. A bit of extra noise and support goes a long way!!! GO VILLA!!!!
