South Melbourne (5th) traveled to Green Gully (8th) on Saturday afternoon to be defeated 3-2 for what was a cold and wet Melbourne winter encounter.
The second half started much the same as the first with Green Gully attacking down the flanks at every opportunity. On 52′ a cross from Vargas was not dealt with by South ‘keeper Deroune and after a scramble the ball was slotted home by Medjedovic to give the Gully a 2-1 lead. In a mirror image of the first half South were awarded a second penalty five minutes after Green Gully had scored. Again it was Joryeff that was bought down and again Fernando De Moraes stepped up and tucked the ball into the net comfortably to level the scores.
Even though South Melbourne have conceded eight goals in the last two games today they were well lead at the back by former football superstar competitor Steven Topalovic, who is another who must be on the radar of a few A-League clubs.Green Gully:
