Wanderers coach says sorry for media no-show as his side puts the drama behind them to overcome Perth
The Wanderers coach admits he has stuff going on in his personal life, and insists he has full support of playing group.
Sydney FC are 90 minutes away from the A-League championship after downing Perth 3-0 in a drama-filled semi-final.
Magic moment
An outstanding strike by Joshua Brillante from well outside the box in the 21st minute.
Controversy
Perth coach Kenny Lowe was left steaming on the sideline after the video referee granted Sydney’s Jordy Buijs his first goal of the season. The referee assistant had his flag outstretched indicating striker Bobo was offside – but the decision was overturned.
Howler
Glory missed their first shot at redemption after Andrew Keogh failed to put away a Diego Castro set up play. The striker had another missed opportunity with a header inside the box only just off-target.
Crowd
Despite being a semi final, the match brought in a disappointing crowd of just under 22,000.
Injuries
Bernie Ibini is under a cloud for the grand final after leaving the field in the dying minutes of the game with a hamstring concern.
What was said
“We kept Castro very quiet tonight, we had a plan to do it and we did it very well.” – Sydney coach Graham Arnold.
