Sydney won another battle on Saturday night, as they edge closer to winning the war.
City competed well for an hour or so but Sydney just maintained their strong intensity and eventually broke through after making the most of a long throw to open the scoring through Brosque.
From there, Sydney were never going to get caught as Bobo scored another double to secure another handsome victory.
City, while the game was level, asked Sydney questions and Fornaroli was unlucky not to open the scoring as his freekick hit the post.
Overall, Sydney’s intensity and ability to concentrate for 90 minutes secured the win.
City were up and down yet again with their quality and it cost them dearly.
They have two more matches to fix these issues and perhaps prepare for a proper assault on a championship that is Sydney’s to lose.

They have done incredibly well to have such talent on the pitch and bench within the salary cap. Sounds churlish I guess and probably sour grapes to boot. Just putting some fake arguments out there ;)

Sydney FC are the best prepared team in the HAL, their performance figures prove it without a semblance of doubt. They are well served in every department not only on the field ,but on the bench,where they have players available who can quite obviously substitute for injury or poor form. or even change the strategy if required. Not that there is anything wrong with their "system",it is basic, simple to follow,and most importantly has been populated by players whose talents fit the system. Wilkinson, the pivotal centre-back,must smile to himself every time this team plays, for it will be like turning back the clock 5 or 6 years to his days at CCM, with the system the same, but the players playing that same system just a little bit better in the key positions. Good luck to Arnold and his team. Cheers jb.
