Sam Awad scored the deciding goal against a well drilled Sydney Olympic at Seymour Shaw Park when latching onto a delightful through ball from Nick Tsattalios to fire a thunderous shot past the exposed Paul Henderson.
The goal cut the legs of the Sydney Olympic players as the Blues fell to their first loss of the season.
Sydney Olympic, a perfect six points from their opening two fixtures, missed a gilt-edged opportunity in the 3’ minute when Chris Triantis fired in a cross to be met powerfully by the head of Alex Smith, though directed straight into the arms of the grateful Nathan Denham.
Sutherland countered when Michael Katz crossed for an attempt by Tsattalios that was blocked and fell back to the midfielder who saw his second effort deflected for a corner as the Sharks sought to gain the ascendency and combat the neat, fast attacking play of Olympic.
Sharks midfielder Nick Stavroulakis was adjudged to have fouled Bill Tsanidis, himself involved in the wars and sporting a head swathed in bandages, to give away a free-kick right on the edge of the penalty-area. Alex Smith lined up the attempt, though he was unable to clear the wall.
Back came Sutherland at the other end and from a free-kick of their own, the ball was put straight into the arms of Henderson.
Sadly for the visitors, Robert Mileski limped off a minute before the break with a hamstring injury in a cruel twist of fate that went some way to deciding the outcome of the game, though the visiting NSW Premier League leaders went into the break all-square in a goalless first period.
Nikas received a caution almost immediately on the resumption of play and Sydney Olympic appeared to be hitting the same vein of form they displayed in the opening half when William Angel sent over a cross that was again just too high for Todd Bamber to nod home.
Nikas then slipped Awad in who drew a couple of defenders before laying it off for Matt Bailey to coolly finish off from 12-yards out to open the scoring, with Henderson again exposed at the back and unable to stop the effort after 56’ minutes.
Triantis went into the book for Sydney Olympic and received stern words from the official for dangerous play against Bakis and he was soon joined by the Sharks’ industrial midfielder Stavroulakis before referee Delovski called both captains to the centre of the field for a word about telling their respective sides to calm it down when in reality it was no more than a hard but fair encounter with the spice.
No sooner had Tsanidis been replaced by Phil Makrys for Olympic, the Sharks were 2-0 to the good and forced up the tempo further.
They pushed hard but left themselves open to the counterattack and, perhaps, should have been caught out on a couple of occasions but the flat back four stood firm and their endeavour paid off with 5’ minutes remaining. Another cross from the left, this time by David Gullo, found Smith with enough space to loop a header over Denham, who injured himself in attempting the save.
Sutherland defended deep and invited Olympic to almost constantly search for an equaliser, though the home side showed plenty of experience in keeping the visitors out, even though there were one or two scary moments along the way.
Sydney Olympic coach, Peter Tsekenis, now coaching the club he supported as a boy and served loyally for 9-years, was pragmatic in his appraisal afterwards when saying:
“I think that when we went a goal down, against the run of play to be honest, I thought the heads went down a bit and that was probably the worst part of the game for us.
“Then we went two down and you cannot afford to give a tough side like Sutherland a two-goal lead.
“We had to make some forced changes but like you said, we didn’t take our chances tonight and the Sharks are no slouch’s and stick in there and are very hard to peg back when they get in front, but our final ball in wasn’t great and we had at least four clear cut chances to go in front and didn’t take them but that’s football and you have to expect that sometimes.
“I’m not going to make excuses because we didn’t take our chances although we had some great passages of play, but the disappointing thing is we let our heads drop when we conceded and allowed another to go in.”
Robbie Stanton was relieved at the final whistle and stated afterwards:
“Both teams looked a little flat in the first-half I thought, and maybe we all just came to the game thinking we’re one and two on the table so the result will just come but it’s never like that in this fixture.
“It’s obviously only early in the season but both sides looked cautious and I expected them to press us harder which surprised me when they didn’t in the opening part of the first-half but when they did I had to change a few things after the break.
“It was a tough, tough win for us and it was a hard but fair match and never what you would call dirty at any stage.
“It was a good battle that, thankfully we won on the night and we can take stock of that and hopefully build further from here.”
The previously undefeated Sutherland Sharks in the Grade-20 division finished with a 2-1 loss against Sydney Olympic.
