Events
Match Events

- 15' Western Sydney Wanderers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' Mitch Duke is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Central Coast Mariners FC tonight.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Central Coast Mariners FC that had 208 games and scored 311 goals.
- 27' Poor challenge from Matt Jurman. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 32' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 37' With 0 assists to his name this season, Matt Jurman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Central Coast Mariners FC.
- 38' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lewis Miller on 38.
- 42' Nicolai Muller doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 46' Matt Simon has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jack Clisby on 46 minute.
