Sydney Olympic FC’s women’s team defeat Emerging Jets

·

A strong showing in the first half was enough for Sydney Olympic to run out 4-0 winners over the Emerging Jets on Sunday afternoon.

With Olympic looking to rebuild their side after losing key talents Allira Toby and Angelique Hristodoulou, the matchup with the Jets served as a chance for the squad to build their chemistry early.

For the Emerging Jets coming into this game, three points would have been hugely sought after, having been the only side to not win a game throughout the entirety of last season.

Olympic’s Maxine Peak provided the opener for her side after strongly retaining possession and stepping beyond her defender to ruthlessly fire the ball beyond Jets goalkeeper Tegan Harvey. 1-0 to Olympic in the 13th minute.

Olympic would not have to wait long for goal No. 2 with Peak doing well to earn a penalty for her side which was dispatched coolly by Demi Koulizakis in the 15th minute.

Koulizakis would work hard to secure her brace when in the 24th minute the striker picked up the ball just outside the box and drove at the Jets defence, sending a sumptuous chipped effort over Harvey that deflected off the cross bar and back toward Koulizakis to tuck it away. 3-0 to Olympic.

Almost immediately after the restart following the 3rd goal, Peak showed great determination to slide the ball through the surrounding Jets defenders and into the path of Priya Sciuriaga who showed no signs of stopping as she forayed past the opposition to confidently best Harvey with a chip for 4-0.
