Adams’ four-minute double represented Newcastle’s only two shots on target throughout the entirety of a 90 minutes in which Macarthur had all the running in front of 3,809 fans at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Friday. But the Bulls were left to rue their wastefulness in front of goal as they ******* to build on last week’s 6-1 win over Perth. French import Valere Germain had a chance to tie things up with a 90th minute penalty but Jets’ No. 1 Ryan Scott went the right way to hold on for a victory. Macarthur’s frustrations spilled over after fulltime with assistant coach Christophe Gamel shown a red card by referee Tim Danaskos following a post-game melee. In truth, Macarthur only had themselves to blame after beginning with promise and taking a 19th minute lead. Winger Jed Drew made an incisive run down the right flank and was able to thread a pass to Marin Jakolis at the back post. Jakolis thumped home from close range to register his third goal of the season. Drew had a shot cleared off the line by Thomas Aquilina early into the second half and the Bulls’ inefficiency in front of goal proved costly. The Jets barely had a sniff up until this point but they found an opening down the right when Macarthur turned the ball over cheaply inside their own half. Adams was quick to latch onto the loose ball and zoomed into the Macarthur box leaving Matt Jurman in his wake before ****** slotting past Filip Kurto for a 56th minute equaliser. Clearly emboldened by their goal, Newcastle went looking for more and they only had to wait four minutes to take the lead. A direct ball was played long to Ben Gibson and the forward was able to hold up the play and find an on-rushing Adams, who added his second from the edge of the box. Germain had a chance to square the game up at the ****** but Scott saved and the Jets hung on for a valuable win on the road.
