Its a high press from Sydney led by Brosque as they look to put the Jets backmen under some pressure.
Eventually its cleared by Duncan following a nervy moment or two.

Zullo looks to beat a couple out wide but Nordstrand threw himself in fully and won the free kick.

Sydney with some extended possession but Boujis shanks it terribly and its out for a throw in. He was looking to switch the play to Zullo but its some pretty poor execution from the Dutchman.

NINKOVIC GOES CLOSE!
The Serbian slices straight through the Jets defence and exchanges a one two with Bobo to get in behind.
It looked like he was in to slide it into the net but Kantarovski made a huge last ditch challenge to deny the midfielder.
Great defence.

Grant gets forward well now and dishes off to Brosque as Brillante is also involved with Sydney looking to build from deep.
Ninkovic tried to turn but it was straight into Hoole who won it well.

Grant with a long ball over the top and picks out Bobo on the far left.
The Brazilian looks for Holosko in the middle but Jackson gets across well and headers the ball out of play.

Nordstrand looks to float one to the back stick now but there’s no one back there and Vukovic can claim with ease.

A fairly tame first ten minutes here as both sides look to settle. Chances for Holosko and Nabbout at either end so far, but neither could beat the keeper.
Jets looking to go over the top and its working decently if unspectacularly.

Rhyan Grant with some tidy work now to evade Nabbout much to the pleasure of the crowd.
Sydney will look to spend some time on the ball now.
And Buijs goes for a saunter through the centre of the park and looks to play a one-two with Holosko but the latter scuffs his touch.

A great ball over the top picks out the run of Nabbout.
It looked like he’d get a shot away but its a heavy touch from the wide man and Vukovic has no trouble getting in the way.

A nicely strung together piece of play by Sydney now with a number of the big names involved.
The ball is moving quickly but no penetration as yet for the Sky Blues.
Long again from the Jets as they look to clear.

Seems as though the Jets are looking to send it long fairly directly to get in behind Sydney’s defence here.
They give it a go now and Vukovic is forced to come out and clean up.

Kantarovski wins it in the centre and immediately looks to unleash Morten Nordstrand but he’s juuuust mistimed his run and the flag is up.
He does put the ball in the net though following the whistle… Jets fans haven’t seen their side do that for a while…

Already a fair amount of space in the middle for the Sky Blues as Brosque drifts across to the right.
Newcastle will really need to focus on defence this afternoon if they’re to get anything out of this one.

Rhyan Grant heavily involved as the Jets try to probe down the left.
The fullback not having a bar of it though as he makes a timely interception.

Buijs delivers the first free kick of the match for the Sky Blues into the area.
It is headed away but the ball comes straight back and Holosko nearly scores within the opening 60 seconds!!
It fell nicely at the back stick as O’Neill chipped in Holosko who looked like he would score from close range but it was a cracker of a save from Duncan!
Sydney show some real intent on the first play!
Could be a long afternoon for the Jets.

Shaun Evans is the man with the whistle today, and he gets us underway as the Sky Blues kick left to right on their home turf.

Conditions are just about perfect for football in Allianz this evening.
21 degrees and no signs of a shower.
But will the Jets rain on Sydney’s parade?

There’s 41 A-League points between these sides heading into this one…
But that doesn’t count for much as the sides line up to take to the park here.
Will the form line ring true? Or will Sydney be humbled in their pursuit of history?

Well, it is tough to see the Jets competing with Sydney FC this evening.
Sydney’s dominance is well documented and a win here would see hem record the highest A-League points total of all time. A goal for Bobo would see him set a new mark for most goals in a regular season for the Sky Blues – surpassing the man he replaced as their marquee man this year, Marc Janko.
The Jets must win today to avoid the wooden spoon. They really have been off the park of late as they have been flown past by the likes of Adelaide United and even the woeful Central Coast Mariners.
Do you believe the Jets can somehow get up here???

Team News:
Sydney FC welcome back their everpresent midfield duo with Josh Brillante and Brandon O’Neill returning from suspension following last week’s 1-1 draw with the Wellington Phoenix. Perhaps the biggest in for the Sky Blues is talismanic midfielder Milos Ninkovic who missed last week with a bout of illness – the Serbian is tipped as the favourite to take out the A-League’s player of the year award this season.
David Carney misses out to make room for Ninkovic, as captain Alex Brosque pushes out wide. Dimitrijevic returns to the bench while Rhyan Grant returns to his usual fullback slot following a week in central midfield.

Grant looks to whip in a long cross to the back stick but it misses everyone and falls over the back.
Newcastle haven’t been too out of their depth thus far. Its been a decent effort considering the recent dominance of the Sky Blues.
Still time though…
