Daal wonderstrike leaves guarding champs second Melbourne victory have allowed sydney fc to leapfrog them into start on the a league table, after the defending champions succumbed to a 1 0 defeat as a result of the north queensland fury at dairy farmers stadium in townsville. It is unclear as to whether the victory were more affected by the lack of North Face Sale midfield talisman carlos hernandez or the typically energy sapping conditions in townsville but the fact remains that this ranks as arguably their flattest performance of the season. The absence of their usual speed on the break and of any direction at all in an attacking sense was conspicuous and perhaps it was a combination of these factors that lead to their demise in townsville. From start to finish the embattled fury were comfortable and they took the lead in quite stunning fashion, dyron daal honoring his recent contract extension at the club with another goal fo the season contender to add to his collection. Early endeavour by robbie middleby, grant smith and jeremy brockie would have put the visitors on alert but there was little they could do to prevent daal’s moment of getting ideas. The dutch born striker control an inch perfect cross into the box from robbie fowler with his chest, suppressing rodrigo vargas and in one swift movement half volleying the ball across his body, beyond goalkeeper mitchell langerak and into the lower right hand corner of the net. Smith should have doubled his side’s lead just moments later with what was a far easier opportunity but he contrived to half volley a bouncing fowler corner well over the crossbar despite being unmarked from six yards out. At times ernie merrick’s melbourne outfit have looked suspect in the dust this season, ever vunerable to defensive implosions and struggling to contain the physical daal and energetic brockie in townsville. They should have been given a reprieve by one that belongs to them just before half time, as rodrigo vargas underlined his attacking prowess from set pieces by finding himself in the right spot at the right time to head home a corner but flashing his effort across the face of goal from a similar position to smith. It meant the victory would come out after the restart needing a concerted effort to work their way back into an awkward match that was for no reason open, the fury spoiling their opponents into position North Face Jackets Sale whilst choosing carefully their own moments in which to commit bodies forward. Recently called up socceroo archie thompson looked likely to spark a victory growing, with two sharp efforts within just five minutes after the interval, the first instantly at justin pasfield and the second bending just past the far post from range. Those were but rare attempts on target by the protecting champions, as the fury wasted half chances that belongs to them to extend their lead and grab a decisive second goal. Jeremy brockie showed the sort of energy that made him a star at the now extinct new zealand knights before his career gone stale, forcing his distance to the penalty area but shooting straight at langerak. Daal was nearly go close, getting on the end of just another sublime wide delivery by fowler into the penalty area but seeing his headed effort float just wide of the far post. New zealander brockie had the last significant chance of the match on 67 minutes as he skipped past kruse and entered the penalty area, hugging the by line before having langerak deny him from a tight angle as the fury held on for an unusual victory, both with regards to the end result and the relative ease with which it was achieved.
