15' Max Burgess, a Australia , has 19 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
17' The referee calls foul for Paul Okon-Engstler. He receives a card.

27' Sydney FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Newcastle United Jets FC's 4-3-3 shape.
32' Newcastle United Jets FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
37' Sydney FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
