Aussies Abroad: Stellar Performances in European Qualifiers and Transfers Galore!

1
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,760
Hello and welcome to the Aussie football passport, your one stop pod for

2
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:22,560
updates on your favourite Aussie men and women who are playing their club cruise abroad.

3
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,400
I'm your host Alex and this transfer window just keeps on

4
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:30,170
delivering for our men and women. Don't, don't you worry though, we've got you covered

5
00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:33,930
with all the moves that have happened in the last week and we've also got

6
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:37,970
plenty of club action for our men whilst the women's off season continues.

7
00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:41,730
So let's wait no further and jump straight into the headlines.

8
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:51,250
Well, we talked about it last episode and it has

9
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:55,370
finally happened. Jordan Boss has joined feyenoord in

10
00:00:55,870 --> 00:01:00,130
a four year deal. The transfer fee is believed to be 5 million euros

11
00:01:00,430 --> 00:01:04,110
and Jordan will get to play for his boyhood favorite club

12
00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:07,950
in the Netherlands. What a move for Jordan,

13
00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:11,870
a fantastic one and continues a long standing

14
00:01:12,370 --> 00:01:16,110
tradition of Aussies playing for Feyenoord over there in the

15
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:19,910
Dutch league. So very good to see and we look forward to covering Jordan in

16
00:01:20,410 --> 00:01:24,310
this upcoming season. Now in England, Massimo Luongo.

17
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:28,030
As we noted last week he was training with Millwall while

18
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:32,180
he has signed a a one year deal with Millwall

19
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,500
in the English championship. So he moves there in a free transfer of course

20
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,060
because his contract with Ipswich expired at

21
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,539
the end of the Premier League season. Now speaking of

22
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:49,700
Premier League clubs, James Overy has signed a

23
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,220
professional contract with Manchester United. He managed

24
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,900
to celebrate with 60 minutes for the under 21 side in a

25
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000
friendly against Charlton Athletic. So congratulations to the Perth born

26
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:06,200
right back and another one to keep an eye out for in the

27
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,920
coming years. And another one that we talked about in the

28
00:02:10,420 --> 00:02:13,760
rumor mill last week, Antonio Arena. Well, he has finally joined

29
00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:17,920
Roma and it is on a three year deal. So it

30
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:22,440
was an undisclosed fee that went to his former side Pescara in the

31
00:02:22,940 --> 00:02:26,680
Italian Second division. So that is

32
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320
a great move for Antonio and hopefully it

33
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:35,280
is one that, you know, helps him get

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,720
on the radar of the Australian national team.

35
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Now speaking of Italy, well,

36
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,880
one of our Matildas has made the move to Italy in Alex Schidiac.

37
00:02:47,380 --> 00:02:51,040
Now she has just signed for Como on a

38
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:55,400
three year deal I should say. And congratulations Alex, that's a great

39
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,400
move. Good. Also good to see Como. They've invested heavily

40
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,120
in their men's team and it looks like they're doing the same with their women's

41
00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:06,060
team. So definitely one to look out for. I mean Alex

42
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,620
will be doing it pretty tough in Coma, I'd imagine.

43
00:03:09,340 --> 00:03:13,260
I, you know, I have so many sympathies for her moving

44
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,180
to such a beautiful part of the world. Now onto the

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,700
rumor mill. And speaking of Matilda's Hayley Rasso,

46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,620
she is in talks to join Benfica in Portugal,

47
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:28,380
so that is one we will keep an eye out for. It'd be a

48
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,940
great move for Hayley. It does seem as though her days at Tottenham

49
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,260
are done. It's just about who picks

50
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,160
her up, so we will keep you posted of

51
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:43,960
course. Now speaking of Italy, Fiorentina have

52
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:48,200
inquired about the services of Christian Volpato

53
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,480
of course currently at Sassuolo. These rumors just keep following

54
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,880
Christian so it'll be very interesting to see where he ends up.

55
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,640
It looks like he will be departing Sassuolo.

56
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,760
Now to one closer to home and Adelaide

57
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:07,800
United have reportedly turned down a bid for star striker Archie Goodwin

58
00:04:08,030 --> 00:04:11,350
from MLS side Charlotte fc. Of course off the

59
00:04:11,850 --> 00:04:15,270
back of a wonderful season in the A leagues in front of goal

60
00:04:15,770 --> 00:04:19,030
for Archie and most importantly he stayed fit. So one to keep an

61
00:04:19,530 --> 00:04:22,670
eye out for. I think Adelaide will most likely hold on to him for another

62
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:26,510
season. Whether they do sell him and get him back on loan though is

63
00:04:27,010 --> 00:04:29,710
another story. So we'll keep you posted on that one.

64
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:33,910
Now over to France and of course Matty Ryan had

65
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:38,840
a wonderful half a season there at Lon's earlier

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,600
in this calendar year, but it has attracted

67
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760
the interest of FC Laureant so of course Matt Ryan

68
00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:50,040
is available on a free transfer at the moment,

69
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,480
so let's see where he ends up if he stays in Liga.

70
00:04:53,980 --> 00:04:58,600
I think that would be a great move for him. Now going

71
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,720
over to Scotland and Motherwell have knocked back an offer

72
00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:06,680
for Apostolos star Matalopoulos

73
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,700
by Viking in Norway. Of course Viking

74
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,500
have had history with Australian players. We did have

75
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:19,020
a couple over there but in in the form

76
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,980
of Nick d' Agostino. So they definitely have an interest in

77
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,260
Australian forwards. So let's see how that one plays out and we've

78
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,380
got plenty more to cover on Apostolis later in the show.

79
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:35,020
Now to some other headlines and the AFC Women's

80
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,420
2026 Asian cup draw will take place on Tuesday night at

81
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,480
7pm Australian Eastern Time.

82
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,320
So the Matildas will learn who they will face in the

83
00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:50,720
tournament. Of course they are hosts right here in Australia next year

84
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,760
and we look forward to seeing who the ladies draw in

85
00:05:56,260 --> 00:06:01,280
that tournament and of course they were our former winners in 2010.

86
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,280
Now to a regular feature on this show. In fact,

87
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,760
I don't know what I'd do without Nectar Treantis because he has

88
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:14,140
given me so much content on this podcast and he how

89
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:18,700
he has picked up a small injury according to his coach at Sunderland

90
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,100
there. So this could well affect these transfer rumblings

91
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,460
that are occurring. There's lots of things. It does now seem that Hibs is off

92
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,540
the table for him due to I guess the higher wage that

93
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,220
he possibly will attract now that Sunderland are a Premier

94
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,340
League club. So this will be very interesting. And of course playing

95
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,460
into all of this is the fact that he's still yet to decide his international

96
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:46,130
allegiance between Australia and Greece and that will

97
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:50,290
also have a big bearing on what happens with his club future.

98
00:06:50,450 --> 00:06:54,250
So it looks like Nectar will not be disappearing

99
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:58,130
from this podcast anytime soon. All right, now,

100
00:06:58,930 --> 00:07:02,450
staying in England, Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards hopes

101
00:07:02,950 --> 00:07:06,450
that Riley McGree's injury is not a serious one. So it looks like it's

102
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:10,730
a bit of muscle tightness and it has restricted Riley

103
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:14,490
injury in terms of his ability to train and he has missed

104
00:07:14,990 --> 00:07:18,530
both of Middlesbrough's friendlies recently.

105
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:23,250
So a bit of a shame. Hopefully he can get himself fit because we,

106
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:26,889
we saw what he can do in that June window, even if it is off

107
00:07:27,389 --> 00:07:31,050
the bench in small bursts. All right, well that's it for the headlines for

108
00:07:31,550 --> 00:07:33,970
this week. We'll move on to the weekly wrap in just a second.

109
00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:47,410
All right, as noted earlier in the show, the women continue their off season

110
00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:51,570
break. So let's jump straight into what's happening in

111
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:55,490
clubland for our men and let's start in Croatia where

112
00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:59,890
Hajic Split is home to two Australians in the form of Fran Karasic

113
00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:03,810
and Anthony Kalik. Now Fran, he got 21

114
00:08:04,310 --> 00:08:07,850
minutes and Hajic Split got a one all draw with Zira

115
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:12,350
in the Europa League Conference. Sorry, the Europa

116
00:08:12,850 --> 00:08:16,790
Conference League qualifier there. Anthony Callick got 84

117
00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:21,390
minutes and in fact he scored the golf Hardic split. So the return fixture

118
00:08:21,890 --> 00:08:25,790
is next week and the tie is in the balance there now

119
00:08:26,290 --> 00:08:30,030
staying with Europa Conference League qualification. And this time

120
00:08:30,530 --> 00:08:34,510
let's go to Slovenia where Denny Urich played a full game for FC

121
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:38,710
Copart. It was a heavy loss to a side that's already

122
00:08:39,210 --> 00:08:43,270
got a mention on this podcast, Viking. It was a 7 nil

123
00:08:43,770 --> 00:08:48,150
loss, so pretty fair to say Denny's

124
00:08:48,650 --> 00:08:52,510
side, FC Cooper will not be playing in the Europa Conference

125
00:08:53,010 --> 00:08:56,790
League unless they find eight goals in that return

126
00:08:56,870 --> 00:09:00,790
fixture. All right, now let's head over to Scotland and

127
00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:04,870
our man, Marty Boyle, you got 83 minutes for Hibbs in a one all draw

128
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:09,010
with FC Micheland in our Europa League qualifier.

129
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:12,810
So just quickly, Europa Conference league is the third

130
00:09:13,310 --> 00:09:16,570
tier of European football. Then you go to Europa League and then You've got the

131
00:09:17,070 --> 00:09:20,770
Champions League, so just a quick one there to all our

132
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:24,290
listeners that are unfamiliar with the European,

133
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:29,090
I guess, tiers of competition. Now to Dundee

134
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:33,130
where Ryan Strain, he played a full game for them in their one nil

135
00:09:33,630 --> 00:09:37,550
win over UNA Strassen in a Europa Conference League

136
00:09:37,790 --> 00:09:42,310
qualifier. So good to see Ryan Strain getting

137
00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:46,430
the full minutes there and really pressing his case

138
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:50,630
for that right back slot which is heavily contested now

139
00:09:51,130 --> 00:09:55,150
in the socceroo setup. Now, Cameron Devlin, he played 73 minutes

140
00:09:55,230 --> 00:09:59,230
in, guess what? Another four nil win for Hearts over Dumbarton

141
00:09:59,730 --> 00:10:03,070
in the Scottish League cup group stage. He then backed it up

142
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:07,510
on the weekend with a man of a match performance against newly promoted English Premier

143
00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:11,450
League side Sunderland in a friendly. Hart's won that one three nil.

144
00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:15,530
So well done to Cammy and he got a bottle of rum for

145
00:10:15,610 --> 00:10:19,130
that man and the match award. So drink responsibly,

146
00:10:19,630 --> 00:10:23,050
Cammy. Now to a man that's already got a mention

147
00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:26,810
earlier in the podcast, Apostolos Damatolopolis.

148
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:30,810
He got a full game as Motherwell beat

149
00:10:30,890 --> 00:10:34,250
Grenick Morton in the group stages of the

150
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:38,100
Scottish League Cup. It was a 30 win and it was the opening goal for

151
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,700
Apostolis there. So great stuff for him. And then he managed to back it up

152
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,860
on the weekend as Motherwell took on Hertha Berlin in

153
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,580
a friendly. The game ended one all and he got a goal again. So fantastic

154
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,780
goal scoring form and what we'd love to see from our forwards as we build

155
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,740
towards a World cup year. Kasuna Yangi

156
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,780
got 79 minutes for Aberdeen in a 31 loss to Ipswich Town

157
00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:06,260
in a friendly. All right, now let's head to Portugal

158
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,780
where Anthony Carter, he got 64 minutes for Santa Clara in their

159
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,580
21 loss to Varan Dinnes in the

160
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,660
Europa League qualification. Europa Conference League qualification. And we'll

161
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,660
get that one right once before the end of the podcast there.

162
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:26,780
Now over to Austria where new signing Noah Bottic got

163
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,500
33 minutes for Austria Wien in their 2 nil win over

164
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,230
FC Sparri in another Europa

165
00:11:35,730 --> 00:11:39,310
Conference League qualifier. So there we go. I got it. He then backed

166
00:11:39,810 --> 00:11:43,630
it up on the weekend with 59 minutes in Austria Wien's Austrian

167
00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:47,750
cup tie against Voitsberg. He did get a goal, but it was

168
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:52,030
a 32 loss for them and unfortunately they are now knocked out of the

169
00:11:52,530 --> 00:11:55,990
Austrian Cup. Now over to Denmark and Mohamed toure,

170
00:11:56,490 --> 00:12:00,270
he got 68 minutes in Randers 21 win over AGF

171
00:12:00,430 --> 00:12:03,830
in Danish League action and Mo managed

172
00:12:04,330 --> 00:12:08,310
to lay on an assist in that game. So he was a

173
00:12:08,810 --> 00:12:12,030
key contributor in his sides win there. So great to see

174
00:12:12,530 --> 00:12:16,310
from MO now down to Belgium where Ryan Teague made his debut

175
00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:20,350
for KV Mechel and in their 10 draw with Zulte

176
00:12:20,590 --> 00:12:24,790
Vararjem in the first round of the Belgian

177
00:12:25,290 --> 00:12:29,070
league. So good to see from Ryan and let's hope he can build towards

178
00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:33,690
some full games for his side to now over to Serbia where Milos Degenerek

179
00:12:34,190 --> 00:12:38,170
played a full game for FK but Chakalopola in

180
00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:42,730
a nil all draw with Radnick Serdelicha a

181
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:46,410
clean sheet for Milos. Always a great thing for a defender there

182
00:12:46,910 --> 00:12:50,490
isn't it? So well done to him. Now let's jump on

183
00:12:50,990 --> 00:12:54,450
a plane and head over to Korea where John iredale he got 33 minutes

184
00:12:54,950 --> 00:12:58,630
for Seoul Eland in their 2 nil win against Sun Won't

185
00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:03,100
Blue Wings now stateside and let's kick

186
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,060
off with Patrick Yazbek he got a full game for Nashville SC as they

187
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,460
lost 1 nil to San Diego FC bringing to an end

188
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,460
that red hot form for his side of late. Now Aidan o' Neill he

189
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,300
got a full game for New York City FC in a thrilling 43

190
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,980
win over FC Dallas also in the MLS there and

191
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,180
Brad Smith continues his streak of super

192
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,740
sub performances. Let's call them. He got three minutes for his side FC Cincinnati

193
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,420
in their nil or draw with Inter Miami so well done. He played

194
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,060
a part in keeping Messi and co away from goal there.

195
00:13:40,540 --> 00:13:44,460
Now Ariath Piol he also had a bit of a super sub appearance

196
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,180
for Real Salt Lake 12 minutes in fact as they won 21

197
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:51,900
over San Jose Earthquakes.

198
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:55,790
Now Jake Girdwood Reich he played 14 minutes in St.

199
00:13:56,290 --> 00:14:00,630
Louis 21 loss to Minnesota United there

200
00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:04,870
and Kyrol's well the bad luck continues for him in D.C.

201
00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:09,430
united as they went down 42 to Austin FC.

202
00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:14,150
Now let's head to England and Wales where we've got a bit of preseason

203
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:18,070
friendly action to cover and let's start with Geffen Jones

204
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:22,060
playing for his new side MK Dons. They went down 21 to

205
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,940
Peterbury United in a preseason friendly in midweek and then he backed

206
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,940
it up with 77 minutes for his side in another 21

207
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,700
loss, this time to Stevenage on the weekend.

208
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:37,580
Now Joe gauche he managed 26 minutes in goal for

209
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,020
Aston Villa in a two all draw with Eintracht Frankfurt

210
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,460
in yet another friendly there. So it will be interesting to see what happens

211
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,460
to Joe Gauchi. A lot of rumors about Emmy Martinez departing

212
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,380
from Aston Villa. Whether Joe is any shot of regular

213
00:14:55,460 --> 00:14:58,900
first team action for Villa. We will have to wait and see.

214
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,060
Probably unrealistic I'd imagine, however, and he will most

215
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,660
likely go out on loan. Now Cameron Burgess,

216
00:15:06,980 --> 00:15:10,780
he got a full game for Swansea as they lost 1 nil to Exeter

217
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,180
City in a friendly as well. Hayden Matthews,

218
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,320
he was the only one of our Portsmouth contingent to get game

219
00:15:18,820 --> 00:15:22,440
time in a 4 nil thumping of reading. Hayden got 20

220
00:15:22,940 --> 00:15:26,640
minutes in that game. Now speaking of championship sides

221
00:15:27,140 --> 00:15:30,640
with a large Aussie contingent, it's QPR and they

222
00:15:31,140 --> 00:15:35,080
played Cardiff in a midweek friendly and all three of our Aussies

223
00:15:35,580 --> 00:15:38,600
played in that one. Keely Adamson, he played 66 minutes.

224
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,450
Daniel Benny and Jalen Pearman came on as part of

225
00:15:42,950 --> 00:15:46,930
the changes there in the 66

226
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:50,490
minutes and that allowed Jalen Pearman to go

227
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:54,610
on and score with the assist provided by Daniel

228
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:58,610
Benny. So congratulations lads. Good to see them linking up so early on

229
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:01,090
in their time at qpr.

230
00:16:02,130 --> 00:16:05,730
Now there was a second game at the weekend

231
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:10,250
for QPR and we saw Benny and Adamson back up as halftime

232
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:14,650
substitutes as QPR got a two all draw with SC Heron

233
00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:19,210
Vein. Now Benny scored the second goal

234
00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:22,770
of qprs to their against their Dutch

235
00:16:23,270 --> 00:16:27,090
opposition and well worth checking out. We'll make sure to share that

236
00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:30,850
one on social media. Now wrapping up the friendly action in

237
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:35,130
Spain with our mobile, he got one half of football for

238
00:16:35,630 --> 00:16:39,790
UD Castillon in a friendly against Southampton

239
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:44,150
which they drew one all and then at the weekend they played another

240
00:16:44,650 --> 00:16:48,550
friendly, this time against local opposition in alaves. They lost

241
00:16:48,630 --> 00:16:52,189
two one and our got 45 minutes or a

242
00:16:52,689 --> 00:16:56,550
half of football there as well. All right, well that's it for the weekly wrap.

243
00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:59,990
We'll head over to player of the Week in just a second.

244
00:17:08,690 --> 00:17:12,290
All right, Player of the week and of course no women to choose

245
00:17:12,790 --> 00:17:15,330
from this week so it is only down to our men.

246
00:17:16,050 --> 00:17:19,530
And for once we had plenty of options. Goal scorers,

247
00:17:20,030 --> 00:17:22,449
assist makers, clean sheets to pick from.

248
00:17:22,770 --> 00:17:26,290
But we decided to go. If you didn't notice

249
00:17:26,930 --> 00:17:30,370
earlier when I left a certain player out of the Dundee

250
00:17:30,450 --> 00:17:34,210
United States update, we've gone

251
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:38,170
for Zach Zach Sapsford as our Player of the week.

252
00:17:38,670 --> 00:17:42,130
It was his first competitive match for his new club and it was in that

253
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:45,970
same Europa Conference League qualifier there.

254
00:17:46,210 --> 00:17:49,730
He stepped up and coolly slotted home in that 1

255
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:53,970
nil first leg victory. Played the full game alongside Ryan

256
00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:57,650
Strain in that one. So great start to life in Scotland for Zach.

257
00:17:58,030 --> 00:18:01,950
Long may it continue. And he will have a second

258
00:18:02,110 --> 00:18:05,670
tie to play midweek next week.

259
00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:09,070
So we will cover that in next week's episode.

260
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:13,710
