HE S a rising star with a penchant for big moments, and an innate ability to make those moments matter.
Marco Tilio is Melbourne City s teenage star who joined the eventual A-League Champions at the beginning of the 2020/21 season, bringing with him his proven track record for finding the back of the net at youth level for his former side Sydney FC.
Tilio would go on to play a pivotal role in City s Premiership/Championship triumph in 2020/21 - but on Thursday, July 22 his services were required for a different task: to help guide Australia to a stunning Olympic victory over footballing giants Argentina.

Western Sydney Wanderers FC have today confirmed the departures of scholarship players Mo Adam, Fabian Monge and Noah Pagden.
The players have had their contracts terminated by mutual consent following their desire to step away from professional football to focus on family and study.
One of the first signings for the Wanderers Academy, Pagden was promoted to the senior team in October 2019 on a scholarship contract, and made his senior debut in a friendly against Leeds United in July 2019.
Pagden captained the Young Socceroos to victory in the AFF Under-18 Championship in 2019.
Pagden thanked the club and will take some time to focus on his studies, majoring in property economics.
