Hellenic Athletic president Kosta Boubaris says his club had Western Sydney Wanderers "pretty worried" in their FFA Cup clash won 4-3 by the A-League side.
Darwin amateur outfit Hellenic almost pulled off the biggest Cup upset ever when they were level 3-3 with the Wanderers late in the match.
Roly Bonevacia struck in the 91st minute to save Western Sydney's blushes and ensure they left the Territory with a victory.
But it was an oustanding effort from the NorZone Premier League team, who fought back from 2-0 down to give the Wanderers a scare of a lifetime.

"We're all still buzzing, we can't really believe what just happened," Boubaris told FourFourTwo after the game.
"The boys played beyond expectations. I was talking with some of their staff [Western Sydney's] after the game and yeah, they were pretty worried.
"We pushed them all the way and no doubt in future they won't take us so lightly."
