Diehard South Sydney fan, but a lover of the round ball game first. I love Leeds, Sydney F.C and Celtic. I also love American sports, and am crazy about the Baltimore Ravens, Boston Celtics and Toronto Blue Jays. Often seen diving and waving imaginary yellow cards in winter park football.

Well, not the greatest spectacle but a fantastic crowd and probably a fair result in the end. The Heart had bursts of dominance in between the longer periods were the Victory controlled the ball, but didn’t do a lot with it. Difficult to tell what’s in store for these two teams after this first game.

Harry Kewell was great in his debut, amongst others. Speaking of debutants, Contreras may have a case to answer after a forearm off the ball wasn’t seen by referee Peter Green.

After 10 derbies it’s now three wins apiece, with four draws. And much more importantly, Sydney are outright first! At least until tomorrow.

His first real chance. Troisi dinked it to the front post for Archie to get his first attempt on goal, but it’s wide.

Contreras with a massive stiff arm off the ball which the referee and linesman have missed! Dear oh dear. He’ll be getting a few weeks for that I’d imagine.
