Spirited fightback from Dynamos sees them win top of the table clash against Dalyellup

Bunbury Dynamos pulled off an extraordinary comeback at the weekend, fighting back from two goals down to beat Dalyellup Park Rangers 3-2 in a heated, top of the table clash at Forrest Park.

Going into the game, both sides were undefeated and sitting in first and second place on the ladder respectively — but a spirited performance from Dynamos has seen them open up a nine-point lead over their title rivals.

The match was very much a game of two halves, with Dalyellup dominant in the first and Dynamos rallying in the second.

Rangers got off to a fast start when centre-half Oliver Mcgee rose from a corner and nodded in from close range to make it 1-0 in the ninth minute.

Bunbury thought they had equalised through star turn Jeremy Stevens a few minutes later, but were denied by the offside flag.

Dynamos were then hit with a classic soccer punch, when Dalyellup’s own star striker Kosta Stavrou latched onto a long ball over the top, rounded the Dynamos’ keeper and ****** rolled home to make it 2-0 in the 29th minute.

With the air sucked from the home side, it appeared Dalyellup were going to cruise to an impressive victory.

But, on the stroke of half-time, speedster Blake Smaniotto broke down the right flank and dinked a ball into Josh Atherton, who pulled one back for Dynamos with a looping header into the far corner.

Energised by the goal, the second half was one-way traffic for Dynamos — who barraged Dalyellup with raid upon raid into the penalty area.

Rangers eventually caved from the pressure, conceding a penalty in the 66th minute, which also saw Mcgee dismissed for a second yellow card.

Up stepped Stevens who equalised for Dynamos — setting up “long” last half hour for Dalyellup, who were clinging on for a point.

With the numerical disadvantage, Rangers sat in numbers behind the ball, leaving Stavrou isolated up front without support.

Their only attacking threat came from set pieces — where they nearly nicked it towards the end.

But ultimately Dynamo’s pressure and momentum proved too much, when Jakub Vychytil broke away on a counter-attack and fired into the net, sending the Dynamos’ faithful into jubilation.

The final whistle sounded to complete Dynamos’ resilient comeback, which sees them boast a 6-0 record from the first six matches.

The result leaves Dalyellup nine points behind in second, but with two games in hand.
