Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Netstrata Jubilee Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Sydney FC and Macarthur FC.
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jake Hollmann is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sydney FC.
- 10' Ryan McGowan is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Macarthur FC tonight.
- 15' 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 Adam Federici suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Sydney FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
- 24' A moment of madness from Antony Golec on 24 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Macarthur FC will be frustrated.
- 29' Australia international Denis Genreau has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 34' Macarthur FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 36' Magnificent from Matt Derbyshire! That is 13 goals in 149 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 38' Paulo Retre is having his name booked by the referee on 38.
- 43' Andrew Redmayne has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 46' Alexander Baumjohann makes way for Anthony Caceres at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sydney FC.
- 47' That is a Yellow card for Macarthur FC. Antonis Martis will be fuming at that decision.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sydney FC that had 215 games and scored 341 goals.
- 57' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 58' A tactical swap from Macarthur FC — Loic Puyo on, Antonis Martis off on 58 minutes.
- 63' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Corica might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 68' Sydney FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 82' Time for substitution for Macarthur FC. Susaeta is replaced by Lachlan Rose.
- 87' Mark Milligan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 297 appearances.
