U20s Newcastle Jets defeat Western Rage 3-1 and make it 7 wins from 7 games

U20s Newcastle Jets delivered a professional performance at Rydalmere Park on Saturday night collecting their 7^th successive victory in as many matches after last weekend’s bye. The Newcastle team dominated play in the first half but lacked movement in the final third against a well structured defence by Western Rage.

In the only opportunity created by the Sydney team throughout the first half, they scored due to a lapse in concentration by the Newcastle defence. Despite the domination, superior technical and physical condition of the Jets, the score remained 1-0 at the break.

In the second half the Jets equalised in the 50^th minute with a screamer of a shot from outside the box! Fifteen minutes later a second goal made the score 2-1 and forced the Rage to stop defending and show a more adventurous approach to the match. Spectators were then treated to an exciting game with the Rage trying to score and bring the game level and the Jets wanting a third goal that would secure the 3 points. In the end a simple tap-in in the 90^th minute ensured the U20s Jets remain on maximum points after seven games played.
