Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sydney FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Sydney FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' Joshua Nisbet has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 212 appearances.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' 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 Marcos Urena suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' The travelling Sydney FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 28' Brilliant from the ! Adam Le Fondre makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 28.
  • 33' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 38' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 43' With 0 assists to his name this season, is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Central Coast Mariners FC.
  • 48' Sydney FC have won 348 goals from 219 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 49' Poor challenge from Trent Buhagiar. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 53' The Australia Anthony Caceres breaks the deadlock on 53 minutes. 0-2!
  • 54' Central Coast Mariners FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nicolai Muller is hanging Matthew Hatch on the field on 54 minute.
  • 56' Lewis Miller has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 56.
  • 58' Adam Le Fondre makes no mistake. The score reads 0-3 and Sydney FC are in front.
  • 59' Goal! Adam Le Fondre scores his 67 goal in 219 matches.
  • 60' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Adam Le Fondre makes it 0-5.
  • 61' Patrick Yazbek is ready to make an impact after coming on for Milos Ninkovic at the 61 minute mark.
  • 66' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 67' The crowd applauds Anthony Caceres as he leaves the pitch. Kosta Barbarouses steps in for Sydney FC.
  • 72' Harrison Steele has so much to prove this time. He replaces Maximilien Balard on 72 minute.
  • 73' The crowd applauds Adam Le Fondre as he leaves the pitch. Bobo steps in for Sydney FC.
  • 78' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 83' Bobo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 85' Garang Kuol gets the nod from Central Coast Mariners FC. He replaces Beni Nkololo and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' Central Coast Mariners FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-5 draw is a fair result on the day.
