A superb display from Milos Ninkovic has lifted Sydney FC to an emphatic 4-0 win over A-League battlers Central Coast.The Serbian playmaker was influential all over Allianz Stadium on Saturday, setting up first-half goals for Filip Holosko and Bobo to kickstart the Sky Blues third consecutive four-goal league haul.Holosko then converted a penalty - his third goal in two games - and captain Alex Brosque netted one after coming off the bench thanks to a farcical error by former Sydney FC goalkeeper Ivan Necevski.With only five shots to Sydneys 17, the scoreline flattered Paul Okons reinvented Mariners, who were spirited but lacked composure whereas the hosts had it in droves.They dominated possession - 65 per cent throughout the match - but Sydney were patient awaiting an opening.The first came in the 18th minute when Ninkovic picked out Holosko with an inch-perfect pass.The Slovakian winger skipped onto it and, seeing Necevski off his line, chipped straight over the custodian and into the net.The Mariners created their own chances and Trent Buhagiar came close to an equaliser, closing in on Sydneys goal and thwarted only by Michael Zullos brilliant clearance.Roy ODonovan had a crack, too, but could only find the side of the netting under pressure from a rushing Danny Vukovic.But the Mariners were left to rue their copious errors, Jacob Poscoliero inadvertently laying Sydneys second goal on a platter.Ninkovic worked the magic again, lifting a lovely ball to Bobo for the Brazilian to tap down off his chest and slam home.Milos is a fantastic player, I dont hide that even in front of him, Sydney coach Graham Arnold said.The difference for him is hes got players now making the right runs.The ball he gave Filip for the first goal was world class, but he cant play that ball unless Filip makes that run.Poscolieros match finished soon after, succumbing to injury and allowing Jacques Faty to step up against the club who offloaded him, midfielder Mickael Tavares and Necevski in the off-season.It was also a premature end for former Mariners stalwart Alex Wilkinson, the Socceroos centre-back suffering an ankle injury following a rash tackle from Connor Pain.With Seb Ryall on to replace him, Bobo won a second-half penalty thanks to Jake McGings flailing arms and Holosko duly converted from the spot.Necevski was at fault for conceding the fourth when he preposterously lost possession trying to scoop up a corner, allowing Brosque to roll the ball into an open net as Sydneys active supporter base The Cove jeered behind him.Okon was loath to focus on individual mistakes but admitted they were an issue.Were aware of it. It happened last week and again tonight ... but we came here tonight, we were very brave and dominated possession, Okon said.If youre going to make schoolboy errors against any opposition, let alone a team thats in form playing at home, youre going to concede goals.Gary Sanchez Jersey . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. Derek Jeter Yankees Jersey .

We train for that kind of chaos.With Ward on the sideline nursing an injured right shoulder, backup Kyle Postma ran 39 yards for a score in the first quarter in a game that lasted six hours, 18 minutes.The Cougars had three players top 100 yards rushing for the first time since 1974, and piled up 381 yards on the ground. Kevrin Justice had 111 yards and two touchdowns, freshman Mulbah Car added 109 yards and a score in his debut and Postma scrambled for a career-high 106 yards with two TDs.Dark clouds descended on the stadium soon after Postmas score, and a lightning strike forced the game to be suspended at 11:36 a.m. with 3:13 left in the first quarter.Multiple lightning strikes followed, pushing the game back again and again. It wasnt raining at the beginning of the delay, and fans remained in their seats despite a warning to move to the concourse. It was a festive atmosphere, with many fans chanting and dancing, and at one point doing the wave.But it began to rain at about 1:30 p.m. and chased all but a few fans out of their seats. By the time the game resumed at 3:12 p.m., the once mostly-full stands were dotted with many empty seats. The official time of the delay was three hours, 36 minutes.The Cougars passed the time during the delay receiving some extra coaching, listening to music and even dancing. They also had some chicken sandwiches delivered as lunchtime came and went with no end to the delay in sight.Everybody made the most of it, linebacker Steven Taylor said.It didnt take Houston (2-0) long to get going after the delay, and a touchdown dive by Justice made it 14-0 with less than a minute left in the first quarter.That score was the first of three straight touchdowns, which included a second score from Justice, which pushed the lead to 28-0 at halftime.We kkind of wore down, Lamar coach Ray Woodard said.dddddddddddd I was proud of our effort, but we just got outmanned today.The Cougars answered those who wondered if they would suffer a letdown after their huge win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma last week, or be looking past the FCS Cardinals (0-2) toward Thursdays American Athletic Conference opener at Cincinnati.Herman said that Ward would have played had Saturdays game been a conference game and that hed return against Cincinnati.He believes his team can be much better despite coasting to Saturdays win.To win a game 42-0 and still have that much work to do is a definite eye-opener for our guys, he said.THE TAKEAWAYLAMAR: The Cardinals should benefit from the experience of facing a top 10 team when they open Southland Conference play next week.HOUSTON: The Cougars did what they were supposed to do against a lesser opponent and were able to give some of their banged-up starters a little bit of a break with a quick turnaround.YES, THEYRE RELATEDIn case youre wondering, Lamar quarterback Carson Earp, who started but threw for just 14 yards while splitting time with Andrew Allen, is related to infamous Old West lawman Wyatt Earp.The senior and the man known for his part in the legendary battle at the O.K. Corral are distant cousins.The propensity for people to refer to quarterbacks as gunslingers seems a little silly when compared to the likes of Wyatt Earp, who was literally a gunslinger in the wild West.TOUGH DAYThe only area where Houston struggled on Saturday was in the kicking game. Ty Cummings was 12 for 12 in his career before missing field goals attempts from 31 and 25 yards against Lamar.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Cougars should maintain their position in the poll after getting a lopsided win against a team they were supposed to beat.UP NEXTLAMAR: The Cardinals host Sam Houston State on Saturday.HOUSTON: The Cougars play at Cincinnati Thursday.LAST WORDIt was 511? It seemed like about 1,511, Woodard said about Houstons total yardage.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.orgate on Saturday.HOUSTON: The Co ' '
