Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Western Sydney Wanderers FC and Auckland FC get this one started.
  • 5' Oscar Priestman has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' Auckland FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 20' Australia international Zac Sapsford has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Western Sydney Wanderers FC and Auckland FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Western Sydney Wanderers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' It looks surprising Auckland FC does not make any changes. Jack Clisby has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 41' Oscar Priestman picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' Western Sydney Wanderers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Auckland FC backline.
  • 51' Auckland FC make a change. Jesse Randall trudges off to be replaced by Neyder Moreno on 51 minutes.
  • 56' Hiroki Sakai needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 61' Alex Bonetig is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Western Sydney Wanderers FC so far.

  • 68' Another substitution for Auckland FC to replace Logan Rogerson by Marlee Francois on 68 minute.
  • 73' 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 Francis De Vries suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' Auckland FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 79' Dean Pelekanos is replacing Oscar Priestman for the Western Sydney Wanderers FC side.
