Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Western Sydney Wanderers FC launch into their encounter with Sydney FC.

- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

- 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 51' 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 Milos Ninkovic suffering a number of foals already.
