Sulemani received a yellow card in the 12th minute, but South extended theirlead in the 17th when Vlahos stole the ball fomr Vukadin and found an unmarked Susa to his  left who shot past John, who seemingly had the ball covered, from 10 metres. South  2:0.

      In the 22nd minute, Nastevski shot way over Petkovic's crossbar. Two minutes later. Anastasiadis was given a yellow card for a tackle on new Knights recruit Da Costa. A Clarkson mistake in the South goal saw Knights guest player, Sulemani, pounce to open the Knights' account. Petkovic deflected the ball but it had enough on it to just  get over the line. South 2:1.

      34th minute, Joel Porter, in the play of the first half, spectaculalry weaved his way through the entire South defence but was denied a shot on goal by Petkovic.

      39th minute, Toto Da Costa blasts a shot only inches wide. Almost immediately, Kozic starts another raid passing to Da Costa who crossed to Sulemani who was caught unaware and missed an promising opportunity on goal.

      South had the better of the Knights in the opening 20 minutes but the Knights have worked their way back into the game with Da Costa causing the South defence
numerous problems.

  On either side of South's third goal, Toto Da Costa is repeatedly tackled and finally, a yellow card is shown to Iosifidis who brings Da Costa down heavily from behind.

      56th minute, Knights bring Zold on for Kozic. 62nd minute, Rody Vargas gets a yellow for a heavy tackle. 75th minute, Martin John makes two spectacular saves for almost  certain goals.

      82nd minute, Knights substitute Rajher and bring on Magdic and a minute later a Trimboli cross found Coveny who forced John into another save from his header.

      Unfortunately, the third goal more or less killed the game and while the Knights continued to push forward, this played into South's hands as they sat back and countered with great efficiency. South's ability to start each half quickly and convert their chances was the difference especially in the first half. Da Costa has made an  immediate impression with South resorting to heavy tackling to diminish his influence  in the Knights' forward moves.
