Bayswater City defeated Sydney Olympic 2-1 away in the Australian Championship on Sunday. The victory marks their first away win in the competition and takes them to the top of their group.

Chris Jackson scored twice for Bayswater. He opened the scoring in the 15th minute after a long ball forward was flicked on by the front line, allowing him to get the better of the last defender before slotting home calmly. Jackson doubled his tally in the 32nd minute, rising at the front post to head home from a corner. Sydney's Dimitrios Petratos pulled one back late in the match with a shot from just outside the penalty area in the 60th minute.

The result puts Bayswater in a strong position to advance to the knockout stages of the national second tier competition for the first time. They play Oakleigh Cannons at home this weekend, with the opportunity to put distance between themselves and the NPL Victoria champions, who are currently second in the group on four points.
