Macarthur FC defeats Western Sydney 2-0, with Tomislav Uskok and Jake Hollman scoring to keep the Bulls' unbeaten record intact.
Coach Carl Robinson says the blame for Western Sydney's stuttering start to the A-League Men season lays at his door after his side were booed off following a 2-0 defeat to Macarthur FC.
The Wanderers were shorn of creativity and despite having 65 per cent of the ball, did little to excite the crowd of 8,910 at Parramatta Stadium. The Bulls sat deep and invited Western Sydney to attack for much of the opening hour, but the home side was unable to engineer a breakthrough with Bernie Ibini leading the line in Hemed's absence.They snatched at chances and they would come to rue their missed opportunities when Daniel de Silva was found in space on the Macarthur left in the 64th minute.
A backheel from the striker found De Silva who played Hollman in on goal, with the substitute cooly finishing past Mejias to ensure Macarthur's unbeaten start to the season remains intact. "It's a good start for us, but the desire has been excellent from the boys with the amount of games we had in a short space of time."Western United boss John Aloisi says his side's stout early-season defence will give them a platform to build on after a third-straight ALM win and clean sheet to defeat Brisbane Roar 1-0 at Kardinia Park.
