DANDENONG CITY fired off a 4-3 victory over Brunswick City to rebound up the ladder after a disappointing round one loss to North Geelong SC.
The City of Casey’s highest ranked FFV club, based at Frank Holohan Reserve in Endeavour Hills, bettered its record to 1-1 with the win and pushes up to sixth in the NPL1 competition.

It left a fight-back in earnest as Keegan Ziada slotted his second of the season, with Damien Miskulin, Goran Jozeljic and Dario Matkovic smashing home their first of the season to push the City boys to a one-goal victory.
