PORTLAND wasn’t able to pull off an upset for the ages at Friendly Society Reserve on Saturday, comfortably defeated by Fawkner Soccer Club 7-0 in their Australia Cup clash, but for coach Stephen Von Tunk and the rest of his crew, there’s nothing but positives to take away.

Von Tunk said the result simply came down to them coming up against a more well-drilled and professional opposition which was the better side on the day.
