Wembley Downs were controlling most of the match with some very well constructed through passes but unfortunately they did not find their intended targets in the back of the net. Wembley were playing a rather good passing game but with the poor finishing North Perth were able to push up on the counter on a few occasions. During the end of the first half North Perth had some golden opportunities with a brilliant pass down the right wing with another pass forward to the striker only for the pass to be struck a little too hard and the striker failed to latch onto the pass.
Wembley opened the scoring and to be honest it looked like it was going to be the only goal of the game as it began to break down halfway through the second half with some rather agricultural challenges and some rather unusual referee decisions that bemused, angered and occasionally brought a smile to both team benches, supporters and spectators alike.
Handball was awarded to North Perth as the Wembley player allegedly on the ground handled the ball. However from my angle all I could see was a Wembley player making a horizontal lunge and blocking a shot. However to the cheer of the away fans the shot was saved and North Perth didnt get the equaliser they were searching for.
Despite the game petering out to a comfortable Wembley win North Perth began to turn the screws in the last 10 minutes of the game with wave after wave of attacks which resulted in a few corners. With Wembley starting to suffer from fatigue which began to turn to anger and reckless free kicks North Perth finally managed to scramble the jets off the tarmac and fire in an incredibly late goal deep into injury time to square the match at one goal a piece.
While to be fair to North Perth I did not check if they had food or drink available I ventured across the road to Di Chiera Brothers deli that is renowned for its continental rolls, chicken schnitzel rolls and other treats on the menu board of your choosing. I had the schnitzel roll for 10.50 and was incredibly delicious. I would highly recommend anyone in the area on a Sunday afternoon to watch a game at Woodville with a nice ice cold beer or soft drink and a delicious roll passing the time away. Drinks were 3.50 and Baci chocolate was 3 dollars for a block.
North Perth once again delivered the goods on the park remaining undefeated and off to a good start. Based on the two games that I have seen they should most certainly should be a serious title challenger.
