Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers have played out a thrilling 1-1 draw in an absorbing Harbour City Derby at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.
Moore than 40,000 fans lapped up a pulsating contest played in driving rain, with Dario Vidosic’s early opener cancelled out by a Scott Jamieson own goal.
Both sides had chances to win it in the second half, with substitute Andrew Hoole almost becoming an instant hero in stoppage time but his shot curled just wide of the post.
But a draw was probably a fair result, with the Sky Blues increasing their unbeaten derby run to an impressive seven matches.
GOALS
0-1 Vidosic (13’) – Andreu launched an attack from deep in his half with a brilliant long-ball which found Mark Bridge’s run on the left. Bridge cut inside and delivered an inch-perfect cross for Vidosic to head home.
1-1 Jamieson (og) (36’) - Filip Holosko’s ball in from the right was too pacy for everyone, finding its way to David Carney on the far side of the box. Carney drove a low cross back into the centre, with Brosque attempting a black-heeled flick which hit Jamieson and trickled in past a stranded Liam Reddy.
