Team of the Week, presented by Bunnings Warehouse - Matchweek 5


Mark Birighitti – Central Coast Mariners
Birighitti has proved to be one of the most reliable shot-stoppers in the competition so far and the 29-year-old did not put a foot wrong while shutting out the Premiers to keep his third clean sheet in four games.
While he was only forced to make four saves – the highlight being a late block from substitute Jordi Swibel – Birighitti dominated his penalty area, fending off cross after cross and racing of his line to smother a number of through balls.

Alen Stajcic believes Central Coast Mariners have a long way to go before mounting a 'credible' A-League assault but is confident they will do so when the Gosford club improve their control of the ball. 
The Mariners returned to the A-League summit on Friday evening with a stunning 2-0 win over reigning Premiers and Champions Sydney FC in Kogarah thanks to Ben Warland's 53rd-minute own goal and Alou Kuol's second goal of the campaign. 
It was Central Coast's first win over the Sky Blues in seven years, and the club that have finished bottom of the pile for three years consecutive have now earned three wins from four matches in 2020/21 and conceded just a single goal in the process.

Matchweek 5 preview: Sydney FC v Central Coast Mariners

Central Coast Mariners face a big test of their A-League credentials against Sydney FC on Friday night. 

Back to back wins over Newcastle Jets and Macarthur FC gave Alen Stajcic's side a dream start to the season but the Mariners dropped their first points of the new campaign at home to Western Sydney Wanderers in a 1-0 loss last Tuesday.

Melbourne Victory will be eager to get back out on the grass and consign a disappointing 3-1 home loss to Brisbane Roar back on January 2 - to club and new coach Grant Brebner's only match so far this season - to the history books. Victory also play Perth Glory on Tuesday, 26 January.
