Honda to Victory, Matildas in ToN & Friday NPL results - a podcast by TPO Rankings

JAPANESE star Keisuke Honda has admitted that he’s close to signing with Melbourne Victory and expects to be able to make an official announcement “in a few days”, but stressed no deal has yet been signed.

The Matildas have fallen agonisingly short of claiming a second successive Tournament of Nations title, despite recording victory over Japan. The Australians instead must be happy with second spot after hosts the USA claimed the title for the first time.

Just the two NPL games played on Friday night - both in Victoria.
In a high scoring game, Kingston City have picked up an important point over title-contenders Bentleigh Greens in a 4-4 draw. The draw will hurt Bentleigh’s chances of catching Heidelberg at the top of the table - the gap is currently 4 points but Heidelberg have 2 games in hand.

And only a month ago we were talking about South Melbourne being as risk of relegation, and all of a sudden they are now in contention to make the finals, beating Green Gully 3-2.
