Jackson’s first-half double inspires Bayswater City win

Bayswater City produced a disciplined away performance to defeat Sydney Olympic 2–1, with Chris Jackson scoring twice in the first half before Moudi Najjar’s late strike gave the hosts a glimmer of hope.

Sydney started by giving the ball away cheaply inside the opening minute, allowing Bayswater to settle into possession. However, the home side created the first opportunity just moments later, with a long ball over the top leading to a quick shot.

After absorbing early pressure, Bayswater began to find their rhythm. Sydney forced a save from Lewis Italiano in the 11th minute, but the visitors took the lead four minutes later. A long ball forward was flicked on by the front line, allowing Jackson to get the better of the last defender before calmly slotting home.
