Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Sydney FC get us underway at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.
  • 5' The 36-year-old Matt Jurman has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 12' It’s a booking for Western Sydney Wanderers FC player. Pirmin Schwegler gets a Yellow card.
  • 17' Simon Cox has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 22' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 27' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 32' Bruce Kamau has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 205 appearances.
  • 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Bruce Kamau on 42.
  • 47' 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 O'Doherty suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' Tate Russell is ready to make an impact after coming on for Bruce Kamau at the 55 minute mark.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Corica might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' Western Sydney Wanderers FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 66' A moment of madness from Nicolas Sullivan on 66 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Western Sydney Wanderers FC will be frustrated.
  • 67' Jordan O'Doherty is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nicolas Sullivan at the 67 minute mark.
  • 72' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sydney FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 77' Western Sydney Wanderers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 80' The whistle greets Kosta Barbarouses as he departs to be replaced by Trent Buhagiar.
  • 81' The Australia Mitch Duke breaks the deadlock on 81 minutes. 0-1!
  • 83' A tactical swap from Sydney FC — Marco Tilio on, Anthony Caceres off on 83 minutes.
  • 86' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Alexander Baumjohann on 86 minutes.
  • 88' Jordi Swibel is replacing Alexander Baumjohann for the Sydney FC side.
  • 90' Daniel Georgievski catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Western Sydney Wanderers FC. Nicolai Muller is replaced by Tass Mourdoukoutas.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers FC (для сухой ничьи).
