Soccer Tim Cahill has made his first senior club appearance in Australian ftball, coming on as 64th-minute substitute in Melbourne Citys 2-1 victory over Brisbane Strikers in the FFA Cup round of 16.The 36-year-old, who drew a sellout 3571 crowd on Wednesday night to Perry Park in Brisbane, entered the fray to a rapturous ovation with the scores level at 1-1.Playing just behind striker Bruno Fornaroli, Cahill had his own effort on goal blocked in the 73rd minute before putting his hand up to take a penalty that came four minutes later, but skipper Fornaroli waved him away before netting his second spot-kick of the night.The Strikers opened the scoring in the 34th minute when unmarked centre-back Greig Henslee turned home Hiroki Omoris inswinging free-kick from six metres out.The National Premier League Queensland winners were full value for the lead after goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen had being called on to make stops from Omori and Rhys Meredith.Three minutes after his goal, Henslee undid his gd work by chopping down Nick Fitzgerald in the penalty area to concede in the box and Fornaroli hit his penalty to the left of Sebastian Usais outstretched arm.The second spot-kick was almost a carbon copy of the first with Bruce Kamau this time goal-bound before Jake Marshall, who had blocked Cahills effort minutes earlier, rashly brought down the winger.Last years A-League top scorer Fornaroli blasted the penalty down the middle of the goal to put his side through to the last eight.Although relieved at making the quarter finals, Citys defence will have worried John van t Schip with balls played over the top of their defence consistently, causing difficulty throughout the night.It is no surprise City are likely to sign a defender as a marquee player before the A-League season starts in October.Cahill played his part as an ambassador, signing numerous autographs before and after the match for the record crowd, the first of many contributions back following his part-FFA-funded estimated $4 million two-year deal with City.It felt like I was starting my career again, Cahill said.I began my career playing in grounds like this.These guys were up for it; they can be proud at what they achieved - and so can City. It was a really gd effort and (they are) a gd ftballing team.This is amazing, its really gd for this place and Im really happy for them.This is what its all about to come to places like this and help fill the ground up and contribute for 30 minutes is nice. Obviously, Id have liked to contribute a bit more on the pitch, but Ive got a few games coming up with the Soccers being involved in and well see what happens with that, Cahill said.Coach van t Schip said he was confident Cahill and Fornaroli would sn form a fine partnership, although he admitted it was not ideal that his new signing would spend a fortnight with the Soccers before the start of the season.It would be nice to have them together (for all of pre-season), but theyre both smart players and theyll work it out together, van t Schip said.
