South Melbourne FC defeated rivals Oakleigh Cannons FC 1-0 on Saturday at Jack Edwards Reserve.
The Club is now in second place of the National Premier Leagues Victoria (NPL Victoria) standings with 18 points.
South Melbourne’s coach, Esteban Quintas, might not have had six key players at his disposal during Saturday’s match, but that didn’t hinder the Club’s success.
The only goal of the meeting was achieved by Joshua Wallen in the 53rd minute, with a header after a corner by Mikkola.
The final whistle found South Melbourne players hugging to celebrate a victory, and the home team leaving with bowed heads.
