A Lachlan Wales first-half strike has set Australia’s men’s football side on the way to an upset 2-0 win against Argentina in Sapporo on Thursday night.
Graham Arnold’s Under-23s side, which is better known as the Olyroos, took the attack to their highly rated opposition and were rewarded when Wales tapped home from close range at the back post after a Joel King assist across the six-yard box had eluded Mitch Duke and his defender.
In a physical game in which seven Australians collected yellow cards, the game took a turn for the worse shortly before half-time when Argentina’s Francisco Ortega was dismissed for a second yellow card after tangling with Riley McGree.

Both sides hit the woodwork, but it took until late for Australia to take advantage of its numerical superiority.
Melbourne City starlet Marco Tillio scored with a sweetly struck first-time shot – only his second touch after coming on as a substitute less than 90 seconds earlier.
Fittingly, his first touch orchestrated the 79th-minute attack by playing the ball to Mitch Duke, who laid the ball back to Tilio for his match-winning strike.

Duke, one of the three over-age permitted to play in each team, almost scored a third just before the full-time whistle have earlier clipped the crossbar about 20 seconds into the second half.
In their first Olympics since 2008, the Olyroos next play the star-studded Spain, which earlier drew 0-0 with Egypt.
The result would not come as a surprise to Arnold, who earlier said his side was ‘‘ready to shock the world’’.
“We come into this tournament with great expectations to go far in the tournament and win games,” Arnold said.
“I truly believe a lot in this group. In the players that we’ve got. It’s a young group but they’ve got a lot of energy.”
“It’s a great talented squad of young players. They’ve got great energy. And they’re ready to shock the world.
“I expect some of our players to take the tournament by storm.
“We’ve got a great, talented squad. We respect the opposition. We know what their strengths are and where they’re too exposed, their weaknesses, so it’s more the focus on our own performance.”
Wales told Channel 7 after the game “it was a dream come true”.
“Tonight we shocked the world and hopefully we can keep shocking the world throughout the tournament,” Wales said.

Kevin Muscat will look to build on Ange Postecoglou’s legacy at Yokohama F. Marinos after he was announced as his fellow Australian’s successor as manager of the Japanese club.
Yokohama confirmed Muscat’s appointment on Sunday, just over a month after league-winning manager Postecoglou departed for Scottish powerhouse Celtic.
It is former Socceroo Muscat’s first managerial position since he was sacked after just 14 league matches of his tenure at Belgian club Sint-Truiden in December.
“I am very honoured to be the manager of Yokohama F. Marinos, one of the most successful soccer clubs in Japan,” Muscat said in a statement translated from Japanese on the club’s website.

“First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the club for giving me this opportunity, and I am very much looking forward to taking on new challenges in Asia’s most competitive (league).
“In order to achieve our goals, we would like to build on what former coach Ange Postecoglou has built and do our best to (perform) this season.
“(I) look forward to meeting the players and staff who will work hard to accomplish something special.”
The club said Muscat’s entry date to Japan was still “being adjusted” while he would join his team after completing his quarantine requirements.
It is the second time Muscat, 47, has taken over at a club after Postecoglou.
Muscat was Postecoglou’s assistant at Melbourne Victory when the latter was appointed Socceroos coach in 2013 and was named his successor at the A-League powerhouse.
He then went on to carve out a coaching legacy at the club he previously captained, winning two A-League grand finals, an A-League premiership and an FFA Cup before quitting Victory in May 2019.
Yokohama F. Marinos president Ryoji Kurosawa said he backed Muscat’s leadership to take the club forward.
“The most important thing in selecting a manager this time was to be a (coach) who can not only continue the attractive attacking football of Yokohama F. Marinos but also evolve it further,” Kurosawa said in a statement.
Hideki Matsunaga had been caretaker coach after Postecoglou’s departure and Kurosawa said he would stay on to support Muscat.

Melbourne City has claimed its first A-League championship with a 3-1 grand final win over Sydney FC at Melbourne’s AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon.
The result reversed last season’s 1-0 triumph for the Sydney side in August
Kostas Barbarouses opened the scoring for Sydney FC against the run of play in the 21st minute.
But City’s Nathaniel Atkinson equalised within 90 seconds after excellent build-up play by Stefan Colokovski.

Milos Ninkovic and Ulises Davila have become the first players to share the A-League’s Johnny Warren Medal while Michelle Heyman has been named the Julie Dolan Medallist for her standout W-League comeback season.
Sydney playmaker Ninkovic is now a two-time winner, having previously received the award in 2016-17, after he and Wellington captain Davila both received 34 votes from a panel comprised of former players, technical experts, match officials and media representatives.
Davila scored seven goals and provided seven assists while Ninkovic scored four and provided another four.
Last season’s winner, Western United captain Alessandro Diamanti, finished third on 31 votes with golden boot winner Jamie Maclaren (29 votes) and Central Coast Mariners skipper Oliver Bozanic (27 votes) rounding out the top five.
For the first time ever we have joint Johnny Warren Medal winners!

The striker won the award with 19 votes ahead of golden boot winner Emily Gielnik and breakout star Kyra Cooney-Cross, who had 17 votes apiece.

Sydney
Thursday 28 September 2017
Football Federation Australia (FFA) today officially unveiled the updated Hyundai A-League Championship Trophy following the rebranding of the Hyundai A-League competition in the lead-up to the 2017/18 season.
While FFA considered changing the design and style of the new Hyundai A-League Championship Trophy, it was decided that its uniqueness was the very property that defined it. As such, FFA has stayed true to the original iconic design and modified it to reflect the new competition logo and style concepts.
“The Hyundai A-League Championship Trophy is unique, and over the past 12 seasons of the competition has become a symbol of the success of our teams, the commitment of our Clubs, as well as the passion of the league’s Members and fans,” said the Head of the Hyundai A-League & Westfield W-League, Greg O’Rourke.
“We again thank Clive Solari and his team at D3 Design who also produced the original Hyundai A-League Championship Trophy, and also thank W. J. Sanders in Sydney for their fine craftsmanship in producing the new trophy.
“Next week we will see ten clubs begin the battle for the right to hold this iconic trophy aloft,” concluded O’Rourke.
Director of D3 Design Clive Solari was honoured that his company was tasked with updating the design.
“I am proud to say that the new trophy has a modern and clean design that will continue to maintain its iconic characteristics,” Solari said.
The Hyundai A-League 2017/18 Season kicks off next Friday night (6 October) when Melbourne City FC host Brisbane Roar FC in the opening match at AAMI Park.
