By Sacha Pisani25 May 2026

There’s hot form. Then there’s whatever Aidan Milicevic is doing right now in NPL Capital Football.
Milicevic, who previously spent time with Borussia Dortmund’s youth team, ripped the capital apart again on the weekend, scoring four goals in Tigers FC’s ruthless 7-0 demolition of Brindabella Blues.

He competed his hat-trick in 17 first-half minutes, before adding a fourth in the 74th. Game over long before full-time.
Milicevic now has 14 goals in 13 games. Seven in his last three. Twelve in eight.
He’s not just scoring. He’s detonating games.
Brother Joshua Milicevic also got on the scoresheet alongside Eunwoo Choi and Cassidy Schlesinger as the Tigers continued to flex their attacking firepower.

The result kept Tigers top of the table - level on points with Canberra Croatia, albeit having played two games more.
Croatia kept the pressure on with a comfortable 4-1 win over the spiralling Monaro Panthers.
Despite conceding inside eight minutes, the hosts responded emphatically with three goals before half-time to seize complete control. Shandon Whitehead, Riley Zsuzsa, David Seselja and veteran striker Thomas James all found the net.
Meanwhile, chaos unfolded between Canberra Olympic and Belconnen United in one of the games of the season.
The eighth and ninth-placed sides somehow produced an eight-goal thriller that finished 4-4 after trading goals inside the opening seven minutes. Olympic eventually rescued a point with nine minutes remaining in regulation.

And quietly building momentum beneath the chaos are Queanbeyan City.
Fourth spot. Four straight wins. Their latest came in a 3-1 victory over Canberra Juventus as the competition’s form side kept climbing.
