Rockdale Ilinden FC Thrashes Wanderers 8-1 in Unforgettable NPL Victory

By Joshua Montoya

Rockdale Ilinden FC crushed Western Sydney Wanderers 8-1 in a dominant performance during their NPL Men's first grade clash on April 19 at Ilinden Sports Centre. 

Rockdale scored four goals in each half, showcasing their physicality and cohesion in a relentless display. Their aggressive approach and sharp team play proved too much for the Wanderers to handle.  Ali Auglah starred with a hattrick, finding the net three times before being subbed off in the 67th minute. 

This win places Rockdale second on the table, 6 points behind current leaders Marconi Stallions. 

Rockdale will go on to face Central Coast Mariners on the 27th of April to hopefully add on to their 3-game unbeaten streak, while wanderers will look to regroup against St George FC on the 25th of April.
