The first-night reviews for Melbourne Citys dream A-League striking partnership are in, and theyre glowing.All-time Socceroos leading goalscorer Tim Cahill and last years golden boot winner Bruno Fornaroli showed an instant connection in Citys 4-1 FFA Cup demolition of Western Sydney on Wednesday night.On their first outing together, both scored, both assisted, and both looked like they could fire City to a first piece of silverware in the clubs history.Against the Wanderers, Fornaroli played as the advanced striker and Cahill played just behind the Uruguayan.Cahill was on hand to set up Fornaroli for Citys second goal, a simple tap-in after stretching the Wanderers defence.But the pairs best combination came just before halftime.The Australian played a delightful back-of-the-foot flick to release Fornaroli on goal, only for him to be dragged down by Nikolai Topor-Stanley.The Wanderers captain dismissed, Cahill dispatched an emphatic penalty before celebrating in front of his fans.City coach John van t Schip said he was delighted with their showing.They can play together, thats very clear, he said.They work very hard together. They played some good football together.You can clearly see theres a good understanding.Van t Schip said Cahill wouldnt be restricted to playing as a No.10 through the season.It could be also that hes playing a bit higher up the pitch, he said.It depends in what game, whats the score, what moment of the game.Cahill said the club wanted to lay down the foundations for the season.We arent here just to show up and play football, Cahill told Fox Sports.Were here to physically upset teams first and then afterwards youll see the football is really nice.Its a nice feeling at this club.Cahill wasnt the only City player enjoying a home debut, with seven others taking the field for the first time in front of their new fans.Fernando Brandan scored, late signing Nicolas Colazo enjoyed a quarter-hour, while Luke Brattan and Neil Kilkenny put in industrious shifts in midfield.But the biggest bang came from defender Nicolas Jakobsen, who scored just his second goal in five years within 90 seconds of kick-off with a stunning overhead.We thought it was Bruno, van t Schip laughed.For us its more important that (Jakobsen) was organising and taking care of the defence. He had a good game. Chad Ruhwedel Penguins Jersey .

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

Brazil mens Olympic football team captain Neymar said that Thursdays 0-0 opening day draw against 10-man South Africa felt like a defeat.The host nation are huge favourites to take the gold medal at this summers Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and feature other big names such as Manchester Citys new ￡27 million signing Gabriel Jesus and Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Marquinhos, but Rogerio Micales side were unable to find a goal even after Mothobi Mvalas sending-off early in the second half.Speaking to Globoesporte after the game in Brasilia, Neymar admitted that nerves had played a part in the poor showing by his side, but said he was confident they would do better in Sundays second Group A game against Iraq.The first game is always the most difficult, for the nerves you have before you begin to play, he said. For us, the draw is like a defeat. We have to win, we know our responsibility. We will stay calm and get back to work again as soon as possible so that we play well on Sunday.Brazil come into the tournament under huge pressure, especially after the disappointment of the 2014 World Cup, when the hosts were eembarrassed 7-1 by Germany in the semifinals.ddddddddddddeymar pointed out that no Brazil team has won an Olympic title, even with emerging stars including Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Bebeto and Ronaldinho each taking part in at least one tournament.I dont know how many great Brazilians have played in the Olympics and not been able to win it, he said. We know this is not easy, we cannot just show up and take home the gold medal. We must play our football. We found it more difficult [tonight], and we must learn to overcome this.Against South Africa on Thursday, Jesus had an excellent chance to score midway through the second half, but hit the post from just 3 yards out. He told Globoesporte he said he was embarrassed at having missed such a simple chance and would find it hard to forget the moment.I had to score that goal, he said. I could not miss it. Im very upset, Im not going to sleep tonight. I keep thinking about it, watching it again and again. Its embarrassing. ' ' '
