Two goals in two minutes midway through the second stanza was a fair reward for the home side’s enterprise after they were denied a first-half opener following an incorrect offside call.
Alex Brosque and Milos Ninkovic bagged the goals, with the Reds struggling to fashion a reply once their resolute defence was breached.
Instead Sky Blue substitutes Bernie Ibini and Matt Simon threatened in the closing stages with their bustling cameos but Graham Arnold’s side had to be content with the final two goal margin.
The result sees the Sky Blues extend their unbeaten start to the season to 16 matches ahead of next week’s blockbuster Big Blue on Australia Day.
Meanwhile last week’s win over City proved to be a false dawn for the defending champions, with the Reds suffering their tenth loss of the season.
1-0 Sydney FC: Alex Brosque, 58’ An inviting cross from Rhyan Grant allowed Brosque to charge into the box, connecting with his outstretched left boot to divert the ball past Galekovic and register his ninth goal of the season.
2-0 Sydney FC: Milos Ninkovic, 60’ A long throw from Michael Zullo caused havoc in Adelaide’s box, with the ball eventually falling to the feet of Ninkovic, who had time to take a touch before blazing it into the back of the net.9
