Description

South Melbourne FC asserted their dominance with a commanding victory over PNG Hekari FC, maintaining a perfect start to the campaign alongside Auckland FC. South Melbourne’s Jordan Swibel starred in his first start for the club, netting a brace while Tommy Giannakopoulos and Max Mikkola, whose goal was confirmed by VAR, helped build an unassailable three goals lead by halftime. Despite a spirited but toothless effort from PNG Hekari FC missing suspended striker Ati Kepo, South Melbourne continued to press, adding goals through Jordan Swibel’s second and a late strike from Nahuel Bonada, who redeemed himself moments after missing a penalty.
