SYDNEY - Sydney FC and Adelaide United played out a 0-0 draw to continue their unbeaten starts to Australian footballs A-League while the Melbourne Victory stayed atop the table on points differential. Arnaldo Hernandez Jersey .The Victory, Sydney and Adelaide all have three wins and two draws through the weekends fifth round, but Melbourne has scored 14 goals and conceded six, Sydney has scored eight and let in three and Adelaide has scored seven and conceded three.Wellington moved into fourth place after a 1-0 home win over the Western Sydney Wanderers who were still feeling the effects of the Asian Champions League final and Melbourne City posted its first win of the season, beating defending champion Brisbane 3-1.Brisbane remains in last place in the 10-team league without a win from four games.The Victory rallied from 2-0 down to snatch a 2-2 draw with Newcastle on Saturday. A 31st-minute goal from Kew Jaliens and Joel Griffiths 33rd-minute penalty gave Newcastle a surprise 2-0 lead, but Melbourne hit back with goals in the 36th from Fahid Ben Khalfallah and striker Besart Berisha immediately after halftime.Im never happy to share anything, Victory coach Kevin Muscat said. But the realities are weve had to come from two down so from their perspective I assume theyd be disappointed.We had an opportunity in the first half to make it 2-2, a good chance when Besart hit the post, then I thought in the second half we dominated the game.Newcastle coach Phil Stubbins said the match was another one that got away.Covering the full 90 minutes, we played as well as we have done, Stubbins said. We got ourselves a 2-0 lead, a deserved lead and then Melbourne Victory are at the top of the league for a reason, and thats if you give them a sniff, they can punish you.Sydney and Adelaide created opportunities, but neither was able to capitalize in their 0-0 draw at Adelaide. Acting captain Nikola Petkovic sent a 35-meter shot past Adelaide goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic in the 68th, but the referee disallowed the goal, saying he had not signalled time on.We had our chances and we probably could have got one or two, but they could have got two or three, Sydney coach Graham Arnold said. Its not our job to entertain when were away from home. And if you pick up a point every time you go away, you have got to be happy.Melbourne City wasnt able to pick up a win in the four games in which it had the services of Spain striker David Villa, but found its goal-scoring touch Saturday to deepen Brisbanes early season depression.David Williams and Matt Dugandzic scored inside the first 10 minutes as City made an explosive beginning and Marc Marino closed out the match in the 83rd after Brandon Borello had pulled a goal back for Brisbane.We need to find some answers, we need a rethink, Brisbane coach Mike Mulvey said. This club is built on a tradition of playing a particular way and right now we are trying to emulate that.But it hasnt translated to wins on the park so we need to have a look at everything from top to bottom. Jeff Montgomery Jersey . PETERSBURG, Florida – Its been almost seven years since the Blue Jays last won a series at Tropicana Field. Mike Sweeney Jersey . -- When the Los Angeles Kings are on top of their formidable defensive game, they revel in the silence they can create in a frustrated road arena. https://www.cheaproyals.com/727a-jeff-suppan-jersey-royals.html .com) - Jeff Teague finished with a game-high 26 points and eight assists as the Atlanta Hawks held off the Utah Jazz, 98-92, on Friday.TORONTO -- Hockey Canadas Bob Nicholson figures its too early to worry about whether an injury clause could be used on Steven Stamkos for the Olympics. But its not too early for the management staff to consider potential alternatives if a broken right tibia keeps Stamkos from playing in Sochi. "Youre never replacing Steve Stamkos," said Nicholson, Hockey Canadas president and CEO. "We have a lot of great players. Steve Yzerman has a very difficult job putting this team together, but you dont replace Steve Stamkos and well just have to find another way to make sure the lineups strong." The Tampa Bay Lightning star was tied for the NHL lead in goals and assists and was considered a lock for the Canadian Olympic team. It also wasnt out of the realm of possibility that Stamkos couldve been on right wing alongside Pittsburgh superstar Sidney Crosby. After Canada struggled to score goals on the bigger, international-sized ice in Turin in 2006, pure scorers are likely to be a major priority. Through more than a month of the NHL season, no one fits that bill more than Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks and Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche. Its possible Perry and Duchenee, who each scored 11 goals through Mondays games, would ride their strong starts to spots on the team regardless of Stamkoss status, but theyre certainly in better shape now. David Cone Jersey. Yzerman and coach Mike Babcock want to break up Perry and Ryan Getzlaf, so the Ducks winger could be ticketed to play with Crosby. Marty St. Louis, who won the Art Ross Trophy last season for Yzermans Lightning, also might get a chance with the Pittsburgh Penguins captain. The players stocks who could rise the most in the aftermath of the Stamkos injury are two who werent in Calgary for Olympic orientation camp in August: Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers and Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars. Giroux elected not to go while rehabbing a hand injury, while Benn was not invited. Girouxs horrid start put him in a bad spot, but the need for a centre who can play right wing gives him a chance for redemption. He scored his first goal Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers, which could be just the spark he needs. Benn is a centre-turned-left-winger, but the flexibility of players like Patrick Sharp of the Chicago Blackhawks could help him get on the roster and let the lines shake out later. ' ' '
