Marconi Stallions 2-0 St George Saints – Clinical Stallions Sweep Past Saints

Date: July 5, 2026 | Venue: Marconi Stadium | Competition: Australia New South Wales Premier League

Marconi Stallions made a convincing statement in the NSW Premier League with a polished 2-0 victory over St George Saints at Marconi Stadium. Goals in each half sealed the win and moved the Stallions to within touching distance of the league leaders, while the Saints were left to rue a disjointed performance.

The home side took control from the opening whistle. Marconi’s high press forced St George into errors, and the breakthrough came in the 23rd minute. A swift move down the right wing saw Marko Jesic deliver a teasing cross that was met by a powerful header from striker Milorad Simonovic, giving the Saints’ goalkeeper no chance. Simonovic’s ninth goal of the season continued his impressive scoring run.

St George Saints attempted to respond before half-time, with midfielder Daniel Petkovski firing a long-range effort just over the bar, but Marconi’s defence, led by veteran Brian Jamba, remained unbreached.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Marconi were content to sit deep and hit on the counter, and they made the points safe in the 77th minute. Substitute Sean O’Connell latched onto a through ball from Jesic and slotted calmly past the advancing goalkeeper to make it 2-0. The Saints’ frustration boiled over late when defender Mitchell Stamatellis was shown a second yellow card for a reckless challenge.
