Australia Cup

Sydney United 58 and Macarthur FC meet on Saturday night in a clash that straddles the ideological fault lines of Australian soccer.

“Sydney United is a club that has battled to get to where it has got to, its IP around football is very strong. “But let’s not make the mistake that every club outside the A-League is a Sydney United, because they’re not. “Then to back it up against Brisbane - top for them, top for Australian football in general. “We need to look at the DNA of football,” he said. “I think the important point is trying to make the traditional clubs relevant in the modern game. A project manager on construction sites, he knows getting out of the car for night sessions after a long day is easier said than done. The final comes at a fascinating juncture in the Australian game. This week is also the 46th edition of the annual Australian-Croatian Soccer Tournament, and the first held in three years due to COVID - and the King Tomislav Croatian Club at United’s home, Edensor Park, is hosting it. Football Australia made some small but significant changes to the format, timing it entirely within the A-League’s pre-season so that NPL clubs, who play through winter, are significantly fitter than the professionals - thus raising the probability of “cupsets” by part-timers. It began in February with 742 teams from every state and territory - more than the number that contest the English FA Cup, which has been running for more than 150 years - and the main knockout rounds concluded with four A-League clubs brought down by state-league opposition. Not only are lapsed Sydney United supporters digging out the memorabilia from the back of their wardrobes, but the entire Croatian community will be behind them. Them is Sydney United 58, the club that has produced more Socceroos than almost any other, but for two decades has been sidelined from Australian soccer’s top table.

The eighth edition of Australian football's domestic cup competition will be played on Saturday night, with history the theme underpinning the match.

An ex-trainee professional golfer, his sporting passions are broad with particular interests in football, AFL and rugby league. The contest will be history-making whichever way it falls. The Bulls achieved mid-table finishes both seasons and after staying afloat longer than a few had suggested, will begin their third campaign next weekend when they face the Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium.

It’s been a fairytale run for Sydney United to reach the Australia Cup final and be the first NPL club to do so. We predict Macarthur will clinch the title. The final is always intriguing.

Macarthur scored 17 goals so far in the tournament and conceded just two. Sydney United is the first ever NPL side to reach the Final following their fairytale campaign. Sydney United scored 8 goals so far in the tournament and conceded 3. United beat A-League side Brisbane Roar 3-2 to reach the final. It’s been an incredible run from a club that finished 8th in the second-tier league. They took down two A-League clubs on their way to the final, a win on penalties against Western United in the Round of 16 and an extra-time victory over Brisbane Roar in the semi-finals. Here we look closely at Sydney United vs Macarthur, date, kick-off time, prediction, lineup, and how to watch live on 10 Play.

Guided by former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke, Macarthur FC wins its first piece of silverware, beating Sydney United 58 with a dominant 2-0 victory.

"We have got the foundation, now it is time to make it better and better and better, try to win some more silverware for the squad." That support ensured a tremendous atmosphere inside the stadium, in stark contrast to the meagre number of supporters at the other end of the ground supporting the three-year-old Macarthur side. United were backed by the vast majority of the 16,461-strong crowd at Western Sydney stadium, many of whom were waving Croatian flags as a nod to the club's heritage. "The lads have been unbelievable, the atmosphere tonight has been unbelievable, happy with the win and to make history tonight, only more to come." On a night in which United became the first team outside the A-League to reach the Australia Cup final — the one competition where amateur and semi-professional teams come together to compete for the same prize, linking the disparate Australian footballing pyramid — the semi-pro NPL NSW side were far from disgraced on the pitch. However, the pressure eventually told, when Dávila slotted home in the 90th minute of the match to seal the win and the club's first ever piece of silverware.

Macarthur FC have dedicated their Australia Cup triumph to their grieving skipper Ulises Davila, who won the Mark Viduka Medal for best afield in Saturday night's final just four months after the sudden death of his wife.

Their failure to finish off United, who twice came from behind in their wins over Western and Brisbane, meant there was always a chance the underdogs could come back late. To know that it meant so much for him and that we could do that for him, it was a really special feeling.” At the other end, roughly 100 Macarthur fans attempted in vain to provide some sort of vocal response. “He kind of mentioned to us before the game, in the pre-match talk, that this game had a special meaning for him. But immediately after receiving it during the post-match ceremony, Davila handed it to Macarthur chairman Gino Marra, and insisted the club keep it as a gift. The Bulls immediately sent several members of their coaching staff to assist Davila and his family with whatever they needed. I just tried to give something back to the club. That’s why I say [the reason I decided to keep playing] was because of this group, all these people around – they make me feel like I have a family here. he never lets it come to the surface. That made Toure, like Arzani, a target for boos for the remainder of the match, but neither player – nor any of the Bulls – allowed the treatment to get under their skin. Toure, who starred for Adelaide United in the final when they won the then-FFA Cup in 2019, had to fight off Davila and Arzani for the right to take the resultant penalty, but stood over the ball with confidence and dispatched it into the back of the net – then strode straight towards Sydney United’s hostile support, put his hands around his ears and taunted them. Macarthur FC have dedicated their Australia Cup triumph to their grieving skipper Ulises Davila, who won the Mark Viduka Medal for best afield in Saturday night’s final just four months after the sudden death of his wife - and then gave it straight to the club as a gesture of appreciation.

The 2022 Australia Cup between Sydney United 58 and Macarthur FC has been condemned by those watching on over horrific behaviour.

The UstaÅ¡e symbols and chants, the disrespect to the Welcome to Country and anthem. But instead, we’ve got Nazi symbolism and salutes, booing of the welcome to country.

The Bulls, who went close through Lachlan Rose in the second half, eventually got their second when substitute Craig Noone was felled in the United box and Davila wrapped up the result in the 90th minute with a well-taken penalty. The Bulls continued to press forward and got their reward when Davila was brought down inside the box following a clumsy challenge from United defender Anthony Tomelic. A 14th-minute Arzani corner found the head of Jonathan Aspropotamitis and were it not for the reflexes of United goalkeeper Danijel Nizic the Bulls would have taken an early lead.

Dwight Yorke and Macarthur FC have secured the Australia Cup for 2022 after downing NPL NSW side Sydney United 2-0 at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday evening.

WORST: It was impossible to follow along with the final without being made aware of a neo-fascist element that made their way into the crowd and tainted what was an otherwise raucous atmosphere that made the contest a genuine spectacle. But on Saturday, he was putting in a performance that earned him the Mark Viduka Medal as best afield and scoring the penalty to secure his side the win. Nonetheless, it's not hyperbolic to recognise that Arzani possesses the innate ability to be a star of the ALM, and possibly beyond. This proposition would only be made more attractive by the entertaining and attacking football the Bulls look like they'll be playing with their talented frontline and under the guidance of Yorke. And he's got a potential second World Cup appearance -- Graham Arnold watching from the stands on Saturday -- to serve as a carrot. Daniel Arzani to Network Ten: "It's been a roller coaster since coming back home but I'm definitely happy I made the decision. Nonetheless, despite all this United was able to maintain a foothold in the contest and ensured that the Bulls were at least made to fight for it. While being able to make your teammates better and facilitate opportunities for others are important, the ability to put the ball into the back of the net is also rather significant for attackers. It was an enjoyable display of skill, the type that punters pay to see. Of course, the chances were certainly there for the Bulls and on another day when they had their shooting boots on, or United keeper Danijel Nizic wasn't in supreme form once again, the narrative might have been different. Semiprofessionals going up against professionals, almost everything has to go right for an NPL side to upset an A-Leagues side at all, let alone for the third time in one campaign like United were attempting to do on Saturday. [Daniel Arzani](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225510/Daniel-Arzani), Davila, Toure, and Daniel De Silva, Yorke had an embarrassment of players that can take their man on and make things happen, while Lachlan Rose up front will never stop running or give his foes a moment of peace.

"Football Australia acknowledges that a very small minority of attendees engaged in behaviour that is not consistent with Football Australia's values and wider community expectations," FA said in a statement. Largely red, it contained a white circle in the middle, with "EP" - an acronym for the club's Edensor Park home - written in the circle in black typeface. A section of fans from United, formerly known as Sydney Croatia, sang "Za Dom Spremni" (for homeland - ready) - a chant used by the far right Ustase movement in the 1930s and 1940s.
