Sunday, 11 September 2016-
Damien Bellemore @DamienBellemore
Plenty of Caltex Socceroos were back in action for their clubs over the weekend following back-to-back wins in World Cup qualifying during the international break. Here's the wrap of the results.
UK

Aaron Mooy has continued his stellar start to the English Championship season, hitting the winner in Huddersfield Town’s win over Leeds United.

Fresh from being nominated for the league’s Player of the Month Award for August, Mooy’s spectacular second-half strike fired his side to a 1-0 win at Elland Road.

It was the midfielder’s first goal in English football following his move from Melbourne City and maintains Huddersfield’s unbeaten start to the season.

Caltex Socceroo nominated for English Championship honour

The 25-year-old started and finished the move which led to the decisive goal on 55 minutes.

Having put in a cross the ball was cleared back to Mooy by the Leeds defence, with the 25-year-old unleashing an unstoppable strike from outside the box that rippled the top corner.

The Terriers have now begun the campaign with five wins and a draw, eclipsing their previous best start to a season and are four points clear at the top of the table.

Elsewhere, Jackson Irvine helped Burton Albion earn a point on the road against Wolverhampton, while fellow Socceroos Massimo Luongo and Bailey Wright were rested from their side’s fixtures.

In the Premier League Brad Smith and Adam Federici were both unused substitutes in Bournemouth’s win over West Brom, while Aidan O’Neill was not in Burnley’s squad for their draw with Hull City.

In League One, James Meredith got through 90 minutes as Bradford City continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-1 draw against Gillingham.

Alex Cisak was in goals in League Two as Leyton Orient had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Carlisle United.

Tom Rogic played the best part of an hour in Celtic’s thumping 5-1 win over Rangers in the Old Firm derby in Scotland.

Elsewhere in the Scottish Premiership, Scott McDonald played in Motherwell’s 1-1 draw with Ross County, while Ryan Edwards played the second half of Partick Thistle’s 2-0 loss to St Johnstone.

Europe

Mathew Leckie played a full game as Ingolstadt suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Hertha in the Bundesliga.

Tomi Juric was a second-half substitute in Switzerland but couldn’t help FC Luzern overcome a two goal deficit as they were beaten 2-1 by Young Boys.

James Jeggo was involved in SK Sturm Graz’s 1-1 home draw against Rapid Wien in Austria.

Nikita Rukavytsya was on the scoresheet in Israel, hitting the equaliser in Maccabi Haifa’s 1-1 draw with Bnei Yehuda.

Asia

Tomislav Mrčela helped Jeonnam Dragons pick up a point against K-League leaders Jeonbuk FC, while Erik Paartalu was missing for the home side in the 2-2 result.

Also in South Korea Bruce Djite and Adrian both played in Suwon FC’s 3-2 win against the Pohang Steelers.

In China Michael Thwaite played in Liaoning Hongyun’s 2-0 win against Hangzhou Greentown, while teammate Dario Vidosic was an unused sub and Matthew Spiranovic was not in the opposing squad.

Mark Bridge was on the scoresheet in Thailand, as Chiangrai United claimed a 4-2 win against BEC Tero Sašana.

Meanwhile Aurelio Vidmar’s Bangkok Glass were beaten away to Buriram United, with Matt Smith playing a full match in the 2-1 loss.

Aussies abroad: Goodwin stars, Behich’s Turkish heroics

Monday, 12 September 2016-
John Greco @Grecs7
Caltex Socceroo Craig Goodwin got the better of a fellow Aussie in the Eredivisie while Aziz Behich produced a moment of magic in Turkey as a host of Aussies impressed for their clubs overnight.
Aussies abroad: Mooy scores screamer in Championship

It was an all Australian battle in the Netherlands as Goodwin’s Sparta Rotterdam drew 1-1 at FC Groningen, the home of left-back Jason Davidson.

The pair both got through a strong 90 minutes for their respective clubs but it was Goodwin who caught the eye, setting up the visitor’s equaliser on 18 minutes.

Elsewhere in the Netherlands, goalkeeper Brad Jones helped Feyenoord maintain their 100 percent record as they beat ADO Den Haag 3-1 to remain at the top of the ladder.

Daniel De Silva also managed 73 minutes for Roda JC but they went down 2-0 at Go Ahead Eagles.

After his exploits with the Caltex Socceroos over the last fortnight, Mat Ryan was left on the bench as Valencia slumped to a 3-2 loss at home to Real Betis in La Liga.

Caltex Socceroo skipper Mile Jedinak also watched from the bench in the Championship, with Aston Villa conceding late on to draw 2-2 against Nottingham Forest.

Aziz Behich proved himself to be a hero for Bursaspor in Turkey as they recorded a huge 1-0 win on the road over giants Fenerbache.

The home looked certain to draw level in the second half only for Behich to somehow get back on the line and acrobatically clear the ball off the line to preserve his side’s lead and secure a massive three points.

In Norway, fellow left-back Alex Gersbach played another full 90 for Rosenborg who won 2-0 at Stabaek to stay top of the league in Norway.

Trent Sainsbury came on in the final 10 minutes for Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning, who crushed Shíjiāzhuāng Ever Bright 6-1, while Apo Giannou didn’t feature in Guanghzhou R&F’s 1-1 draw with Shanghai Shenhua.

Australian goalkeeper Brad Jones produced a man of the match performance on Monday morning (AEST) as Feyenoord defeated defending Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven 1-0 at the Philips Stadion. Jones made seven saves for the match, along with a desperate effort in the dying stages, to earn another deserved clean sheet – his fourth of the league campaign.

In Norway’s Tippeligaen, Alex Gersbach played a full match as Rosenborg BK inched closer to the league title with a comfortable 2-0 win over IK Start. Since their opening day defeat to Odds Ballklubb, Rosenborg have not lost a league match in their last 23 outings.

Australia midfielder Tom Rogic scored the opening goal of the match as Celtic drew 2-2 with Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premier League.

In Asia, while Michael Thwaite came on just after half-time, while Dario Vidosic found the back of the net as Liaoning Whowin copped a 6-2 thrashing courtesy of defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande.

Vidosic’s goal is just the second for the club since his arrival from the Western Sydney Wanderers back in July. The defeat marks Liaoning’s third in their last four league games and leaves them languishing in 11th place with five games remaining in the Chinese Super League season.

Former Melbourne Victory utility Mark Milligan featured for Baniyas as they went down 1-0 to last season’s runners-up, Al Ain, in the first game of the UAE Arabian Gulf League season.

Elsewhere, it took just two minutes for Tahj Minniecon to find the back of the net for Philippines club, Loyola Meralco Sparks.

Australian skipper Mile Jedinak’s Aston Villa made it back-to-back wins as Jonathan Kodija’s goal handed them a 1-0 triumph over Fulham. It was another huge 90-minute performance and result for Bailey Wright and Preston North End, as they won 1-0 at high-flying Norwich City.

Aaron Mooy came on with half an hour to play and helped Huddersfield Town to a 1-0 win thanks to Elias Kachunga’s stoppage-time strike. Massimo Luongo was unable to inspire QPR, as they lost 1-0 against Sheffield Wednesday, while Ryan Williams came on late as Barnsley beat Brentford 2-0. In the EPL, Adam Federici watched from the bench as Bournemouth drew 0-0 with Tottenham and it was the same story for Aiden O’Neill as Burnley upset Everton 2-1.

An injury to Artur Boruc gave Federici his chance in the starting XI and the 31-year-old was superb as AFC Bournemouth secured a valuable 1-0 away win at Stoke City. In a flawless display, Federici made five saves for the match as Eddie Howe’s men held on to move up to ninth spot on the EPL table.

In Germany, Leckie’s FC Ingolstadt finally picked up their first three points of the season – at the 11th attempt - with a 1-0 win at Darmstadt 98, with the Socceroo winger playing 90 minutes.

Finally in Denmark, Mustafa Amini (77 minutes) and Chris Ikonomidis (63 minutes) both saw plenty of action in AGF’s 3-2 loss at Nordsjaelland.

STICK-OR-TWIST SOCCEROOS

* Mat Ryan (Valencia, Spain)

Australia's No.1 hasn't played a minute for his La Liga club since August.

* Brad Smith (Bournemouth, England)

The left-back has made one appearance for the club he joined on a reported four-year $10.5 million deal from Liverpool in July.

* Matt Spiranovic (Hangzhou, China)

Relegated with Hangzhou, the first-choice Socceroo centre-back will need a new club to avoid playing in the Chinese second division in 2017.

* Robbie Kruse (Leverkusen, Germany)

Doesn't even make the bench most weeks and yet to feature in the Bundesliga this season for the European Champions League-quality side.

* Terry Antonis (Pae Veria, Greece)

The fringe Socceroo midfielder is barely getting a look-in at struggling Greek side after an injury-plagued season and needs game-time.

* Mark Milligan (Bani Yas, UAE)

His Abu Dhabi-based club sits rock-bottom of the table, which could see ambitious owners ring changes.

* Ben Halloran (Heidenheim, Germany)

The 2014 World Cup attendee is on the outer for his Bundesliga 2 club and hasn't been picked for the Socceroos for over a year.

There's an app/website called WyScout where you can collect data and watch games from any player in the world. I haven't used it myself as I have to pay for it but I'll be using it in the future. There's a free trial.
