The Western Sydney Wanderers maintained their position at the top of the PS4 NPL2 ladder when they defeated Macarthur Rams 4-0.
The dominant victory was set-up in the first half when a double to Jordan Morfitis as well as strikes to Cameron Devlin and Kyle Cimenti meant the second half was simply a formality.
Â
With Sydney FC only one point behind the Red & Black, the Wanderers could not afford a slip-up and they got off to the perfect start when Devlin slotted one from outside the box in only the fifth minute.
Â
It was a strike to be proud of and the lead was doubled midway through the half when Morfitis got his first of the afternoon with a curling shot from the outside of the area.
Â
Momentum was certainly going the way of the Wanderers and they put the match beyond reach shortly afterwards when Morfitis scored his second to make it 3-0!
Â
Just when it looked like it couldn’t get any worse for the Rams, Cimenti tapped-in a Morfitis cross after the winger was fed by a nice Tariq Maia run.
Â
4-0 at half time and the match was as good as over.
Â
Wanderers’ keeper Matt Symes was forced into action early in the second half, making a terrific save, and Cimenti almost got his second with a snap shot on the turn but that was all the action in the second stanza.
Â
A very solid win that keeps the Red & Black one point ahead of Sydney FC on the NPL2 ladder.
Â
This Saturday the Wanderers take on Bankstown Berries at the Crest Athletic Centre with kick-off at 7pm.
