Despite their opener coming off defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley, United appeared comfortable throughout the match: putting in a well-drilled, purposeful shift as they secured points in three-straight games for the first time this season.
The win was, however, soured by an injury to Socceroo defender Josh Risdon, who hobbled off with an injury that will require scans on Tuesday. Very disciplined and professional performance tonight, which pleased me the most, said coach Mark Rudan. It s another (clean sheet), which is always pleasing, but I thought we dominated the game from start to finish.
Confronting suspensions to Brendan Hamill and Tomislav Uskok, the hosts moved to a four-player defence for the contest, with Olyroo hopeful Dylan Pierias pushing into midfield in response.
