  • 15' Auckland FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sydney FC backline.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Francis De Vries, as he is very good at scoring at Mt Smart Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 24' Auckland FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 24.
  • 29' It looks surprising Auckland FC does not make any changes. Joe Lolley has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 50' It is a substitution in Sydney FC team. Corey Hollman is replaced by Adrian Segecic on 50 minute.
  • 55' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jordan Courtney-Perkins suffering a number of foals already.
